About this map

Cal-Nev-Ari serves as the focal point of this arid borderlands survey, situated where the high desert meets a critical junction of modern transit and aviation at Kidwell Airport. The settlement's unique location is underscored by the state line between Nevada and California, which bisects the southwestern corner of the map. This political boundary also marks the edge of the Mojave National Preserve, showing the transition from managed federal lands to the more developed corridors near Loran Station Rd.

Water resources in this drought-prone landscape are precisely documented, from the isolated Tenmile Well to the ephemeral course of Piute Wash. Smaller landmarks like Lewis Spring and Weikel Reservoir highlight the precarious nature of life and travel in the Mojave Desert during the early 21st century. The terrain is dominated by the elevations of the Piute Range, providing a dramatic backdrop to the localized street network including Cherokee Rd and S Comanche Way.
