2015 Map of Vidal

About this map

The settlement of Vidal anchors the northern reaches of this Colorado Desert landscape, positioned near the junction of 95 and Old Parker Rd. This 2015 survey illustrates a desert community defined by its topography, where the Vidal Valley transitions into the steep, complex drainages of the Riverside Mountains to the south. Local history is marked by the presence of Holly Cemetery on the northeastern edge of the townsite. The terrain is dominated by the seasonal paths of the Vidal Wash and Big Wash, while the Riverside Pass provides a natural corridor through the southern peaks. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary where San Bernardino County meets Riverside County, cutting horizontally across the desert floor. This modern record details the sparse but critical infrastructure of a remote California desert outpost, from the layout of Main St to the surrounding public land survey divisions.
