2015 Map of Ritter Ridge

About this map

Palmdale serves as the central hub of this Antelope Valley survey, showing the city's modern suburban expansion alongside established communities like Desert View Highlands and Rancho Vista. The landscape is defined by the striking presence of the San Andreas Fault, which cuts across the terrain between the Sierra Pelona range and the high desert floor. Significant infrastructure is visible throughout the area, notably the Governor Edmund G Brown East Branch California Aqueduct as it winds through the foothills, and the reservoir at Lake Palmdale near the intersection of major transport corridors. The map details the transition from dense residential developments in the northeast to the agricultural and open spaces of Leona Valley and Anaverde Valley, documenting the interaction between the region's geological constraints and its continued growth into the foothills.
