2021 Map of Trona West

About this map

Argus Range and the high peaks of the Mojave Desert define this portion of Inyo and San Bernardino counties, where the industrial presence of Searles Valley meets the high desert. The landscape is marked by a high density of named springs, such as Nadeau Springs, Indian Joe Spring, and Arrastra Spring, which historically supported early prospectors and travelers through the steep terrain of Moscow Canyon and Bainter Canyon. In the southeast corner, the settlement of Argus sits at the base of the mountains, with a residential grid featuring Athol St and Argus Ave leading toward the industrial operations at Plant Access Rd. This 2021 edition provides a detailed record of the local geography near the Searles Valley Cem, showing the proximity between the mountain wilderness and the specialized resource-extraction communities of the desert floor.
