2015 Map of Shadow Mountains SE

About this map

Adelanto sits at the southern edge of this high desert landscape, where the residential street grid of the city meets the open terrain of the Mojave Desert. The area is defined by its aviation history and specialized land use, containing several landing strips including El Mirage Field, Krey Field, and the Adelanto Airport. To the north, the elevation rises into the Shadow Mountains and Gray Mtn, overlooking the expansive El Mirage Valley. A notable geographic feature is the dry bed of El Mirage Lake, a landmark that anchors the northern section of the map. The drainage of Fremont Wash cuts through the southeastern corner, illustrating the arid hydrology of San Bernardino County. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of rural desert life and the northern expansion of the Victor Valley area.
