2018 Map of Troy Lake

About this map

Troy Lake dominates the central basin of this arid landscape, situated within the Mojave Desert east of Newberry Springs. The terrain is defined by the sharp contrast between the flat alkali floor of the Mojave Valley and the rising slopes of the Cady Mountains to the northeast. This 2018 survey captures a complex network of local desert roads, such as Fort Cady Rd and Silver Valley Rd, which crisscross the valley floor. Transportation history is prominent along the southern corridor, where the National Trails Hwy follows the historical path of Route 66 alongside the interstate. Hydrological features like Kane Wash provide insight into the drainage patterns of the region, while named routes like Holcomb Trl and Cherokee Rd mark the modern rural residential and utility layout of San Bernardino County's high desert.
