2018 Map of Ridgecrest South

About this map

Ridgecrest serves as the primary urban hub in the high-altitude Indian Wells Valley, sitting at the gateway to the northeastern Mojave Desert. This 2018 survey documents the city's structured residential and academic layout, most notably the campus of Cerro Coso Community College perched overlooking the desert floor. The landscape transitions quickly from a dense grid of streets like Ridgecrest Blvd and California Ave into the undeveloped terrain to the south and east. Topographical details highlight Rademacher Hill and the seasonal drainage of Teagle Wash, while the eastern boundary follows the Kern Co San Bernardino Co line. The map illustrates the 21st-century extent of this desert community, defining the limit where suburban development meets the open basins of the California interior.
