The Mojave River valley serves as the central corridor for this detailed study of the High Desert during its 21st-century expansion. The map documents the extensive urban footprints of Victorville, Adelanto, and Apple Valley, where suburban street grids meet the stark topography of the Mojave Desert. Notable for aviation researchers, the Southern California Logistics Airport dominates the northwest, showing a complex of runways and hangers including Aviation Dr and Airport Flightline Blvd. In the north, the settlement of Oro Grande sits near the Rodigues Cem and the National Trails Hwy, the legendary Route 66. This survey captures the topographical constraints of the river's path, from the Upper Narrows near Victor Valley Memorial Park to the Lower Narrows, where the desert terrain rises into features like Quartzite Mtn and Sugarloaf.
