2021 Map of West of Soda Lake

About this map

The Soda Mountains dominate the western portion of this landscape, rising above the arid floor of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the Mojave National Preserve, which encompasses the eastern half of the map area. The terrain is defined by extreme relief and the isolation typical of this corner of the California desert, where transportation routes are limited to a handful of significant thoroughfares. Historical corridors like the Arrowhead Trl and the uniquely named Zzyzx Rd provide the primary access points through the expansive public lands, while Rasor Rd cuts across the southern township line. The map serves as a contemporary record of the township and range boundaries, including t13n r8e and t12n r7e, illustrating how administrative grids overlay this remote natural environment.
