2021 Map of Shadow Mountains

About this map

Shadow Mountains and the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert define this high-desert terrain in San Bernardino County. In the early 2020s, the landscape is a grid of surveyed roads and isolated landmarks, including Silver Peak and Resurrection Hill. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the El Mirage Valley, home to the expansive dry bed of El Mirage Lake. This area is a focal point for aviation and recreation, anchored by the El Mirage Field Adelanto Airport. The map documents a sparse but deliberate network of local routes like Hess Ranch Rd and Sierra Rd that cut across the alluvial fans and volcanic outcroppings, illustrating the modern settlement patterns within this arid environment.
