2021 Map of Ridgecrest North

About this map

China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station (Armitage Field) dominates the central landscape of this modern survey, highlighting the intersection of military infrastructure and residential expansion in the Indian Wells Valley. Located at the edge of the Mojave Desert, the map captures the structured grid of northern Ridgecrest as it meets the open desert. The layout shows a transition from high-density civic and residential blocks, such as those near the Kern County Superior Court - Ridgecrest Branch, to the long, linear corridors of Snort Access Rd and Pole Line Rd. The map also illustrates the exact boundary where Kern and San Bernardino counties meet. This 2021 record provides a precise look at the contemporary road network, including thoroughfares like W Inyokern Rd and Drummond Ave, which serve as the primary arteries for this high-desert community.
