2012 Map of Rogers Lake North

About this map

Rogers Lake, a dry lake bed defined by vast stretches of Silt, dominates the landscape of this portion of Kern County. This 2012 survey illustrates the expanse of this natural playa and its integration into the critical defense infrastructure of the region. The map shows the boundaries of Edwards Air Force Base and the more specific Edwards Air Force Auxiliary North Base situated along the northern reaches of the lake. The terrain is notably level, a characteristic that made the area historically significant for military flight testing and aerospace development. Roads and runways intersect the basin, reflecting the specialized utility of the desert floor for large-scale operations.
