2015 Map of Troy Lake

About this map

Troy Lake dominates the central basin of this arid landscape, situated within the wider expanse of the Mojave Desert. The topography is defined by the stark rise of the Cady Mountains to the northeast, casting a shadow over the low-lying Mojave Valley. This area represents a classic desert drainage system, where the seasonal Kane Wash flows toward the playa, and a grid of rural desert roads provides access to the scattered parcels south of the lake. These routes, including Fort Cady Rd and Silver Valley Rd, reveal the spread of rural development into the high desert during the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of section lines and township boundaries like t9n r4e, illustrating how the Public Land Survey System has organized this environment for residential and agricultural efforts such as those near Palo Verde Ln.
