About this map

Industrial mineral extraction and military training dominate this high-desert landscape, centered on the dry basins of Searles Lake and China Lake. In the mid-century, the settlement of Trona serves as a hub for the Soda Works, while the mining traditions of the Rand Mountains are evidenced by the nearby town of Randsburg. To the east, the extensive Camp Irwin Military Reservation covers a vast portion of the Mojave, characterized by remote landmarks like Bicycle Lake and Leach Lake.
