2023 Map of Troy Lake

About this map

Troy Lake dominates the central basin of this arid expanse, where the Mojave Desert meets the rising elevations of the Cady Mountains to the northeast and the Rodman Mountains to the south. This landscape is defined by its transit corridors, most notably the National Trails Hwy, which follows the low ground of the Mojave Valley. The southern portion of the map is largely protected within the Rodman Mountains Wilderness, preserving a stark topography of desert peaks and washes such as Kane Wash. Settlement is sparse and linear, oriented primarily along established routes like Silver Valley Rd and Center Rd, reflecting a region where the environment dictates the patterns of human presence and movement.
