2018 Map of Ridgecrest North

About this map

China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station (Armitage Field) dominates the northern reaches of the Ridgecrest urban area, where the High Desert landscape of the Mojave Desert meets military infrastructure. This 2018 survey shows the complex grid of the Indian Wells Valley, illustrating the residential growth of the northern city limits alongside specialized facilities. The map captures the interface between industrial and military corridors, including numerous access roads like Pole Line Rd and Tower Rd that reach into the surrounding arid terrain. To the northeast, the dry bed and wetlands of China Lake sit adjacent to the Kern and San Bernardino county line. The detailed street network shows the development of residential blocks along Inyokern Rd and Nimitz Ave, reflecting the community's mid-century origins and modern expansion.
