2023 Map of Red Mountain

About this map

Red Mountain and the nearby settlement of Atolia anchor this portion of the western Mojave Desert, where the landscape is defined by the steep elevation of the Rand Mountains. The prominent peak of Red Mtn rises above a network of desert roads, including the Randsburg Cutoff and Trona Rd, which connect these mining-era locales. The eastern portion of the sheet transitions into the protected landscape of the Golden Valley Wilderness, showing the contrast between concentrated human activity along the mountain slopes and the undisturbed desert terrain of Almond Cove. This map provides a look at the enduring road networks that served the historic tungsten and gold districts, tracing routes like Cuddeback Rd and Hoffman Rd through the arid basin.
