Ridgecrest and the industrial corridors of the Indian Wells Valley define this 1993 study of the high desert. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling operations of the Naval Weapons Center, including NAF China Lake and its associated research infrastructure. To the east, the mineral-rich basin of Searles Lake supports a string of company towns and processing sites such as Trona, Argus, and Westend. This area reveals a complex economy of scale, where vast salt evaporators and Borax Flat meet the technical footprint of Cerro Coso College.
