2015 Map of Rosamond

About this map

Rosamond serves as the primary hub of activity in this high desert landscape, straddling the line between Kern and Los Angeles counties. The grid-based growth of the community is evidenced by the residential streets and the Rosamond Skypark located just west of the main settlement. To the south, the northern reaches of Lancaster begin to appear, while the small settlement of Oban sits along the rail line, east of the winding Amargosa Cr. The environment is defined by the arid floor of the Mojave Desert, where the landscape transitions into the important wetland habitat of the Piute Ponds in the southeast. This survey illustrates the rigid section-line road network common to the region, including long stretches of W Avenue D and Gaskell Rd that connect isolated outposts to the growing suburban centers of the Antelope Valley.
