2018 Map of Vidal

About this map

The small desert community of Vidal anchors this landscape at the junction of US Rte 95 and Blythe Vidal Rd. Located in the far eastern reaches of the Mojave Desert, the area is defined by the dramatic relief of the Riverside Mountains and the West Riverside Mountains, which dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. For those researching local history, the Holly Cem is situated just east of the main settlement near Vidal Valley. The topography is marked by significant ephemeral drainages such as Vidal Wash and Big Wash, which serve as natural corridors through the arid terrain. The crossing at Riverside Pass provides a key point of navigation between the mountain ranges, illustrating the historical importance of these few established routes through the Colorado River valley region.
