2015 Map of Valley Mountain

About this map

Twentynine Palms and the surrounding Mojave Desert characterize this desert landscape, where the northern residential periphery of the city meets the rising terrain of Valley Mtn. The map highlights a transition from established grid streets to more evocative, localized naming conventions, such as Peter Rabbit Trl and Back of Beyond Rd. Aviation history is well-represented by multiple facilities, including the Twentynine Palms Airport, Crosswinds Airport, and the Dick Dale Skyranch further north. This region's infrastructure is defined by long, straight desert thoroughfares like Amboy Rd and Telephone Rd, which cut through the arid flats to connect remote outposts. The ephemeral nature of water in this environment is noted by the presence of Dog Wash, a natural drainage feature located in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
