Water Valley occupies this expanse of the Mojave Desert north of Hinkley, defined by the dry bed of Harper Lake and the prominent rise of Black Mtn. The landscape is etched with a network of rural roads that suggest a history of ranching and desert habitation, including named thoroughfares like Burn Ranch Rd, Friends Rd, and Sunset Rd. These routes crisscross the arid flats, often following the cardinal directions of the Public Land Survey System grid.
