2015 Map of Rosamond Lake

About this map

Rosamond Lake dominates this portion of the Mojave Desert, serving as a massive dry lakebed that spans the border between Kern and Los Angeles Counties. The terrain is characterized by the flat expanse of the playa, punctuated in the northwest by Red Hill. Water features are scarce in this arid environment, though the Piute Ponds provide a distinct wetland area to the southwest. The mapping reflects a structured grid of local roads and section lines, including E Avenue E and Willow Springs Rd, which frame the undeveloped desert floor. This 2015 data illustrates the geographic divide between the Antelope Valley and the expansive lakebed used for aerospace and military activities in the surrounding region.
