About this map

The Paradise Range rises from the high desert floor in this 2021 survey of San Bernardino County. Located within the Mojave Desert, the landscape is defined by its arid basins and the scarce but critical water sources of Paradise Springs and Jack Spring. The map documents a sparsely populated region primarily characterized by military or scientific utility, evidenced by the proximity of the Nasa facility and Gemini Station in the northeastern reaches.

A network of desert tracks and access roads, including Fort Irwin Rd and Walker Rd, provides the primary infrastructure through the townships. The inclusion of Rocking K Ranch Rd suggests the historical or continuing presence of ranching operations amidst the military corridors. This map is a record of how federal land management and defense infrastructure integrate with the natural features of the California desert.
