2015 Map of West of Flattop Mountain

About this map

Ward Valley dominates the western portion of this desert landscape, where the alluvial drainage of Homer Wash meanders toward the south. The topography is defined by the stark transition from the level basin floor to the steep eastern elevations of the Sacramento Mountains, which are breached by the South Pass. This modern survey illustrates the sparse infrastructure of the high desert, centered on the Camino Airstrip and a few specialized desert thoroughfares like Walter Rd and Water Rd. The map provides a clear look at the Mojave Desert environment, showing the relationship between natural water drainage patterns and the strategic placement of remote aviation and transportation links in an arid expanse.
