Argus and Borosolvay sit along the western edge of the dry lake beds in this 2018 survey of San Bernardino County. The map details a complex landscape where industrial and residential pockets like Westend and South Trona meet the stark desert terrain. To the west, the Argus Range rises sharply, while the southern reaches transition into the Mojave Desert near Fish Head Rocks. The intricate network of specialized infrastructure is evident in the inclusion of E Trona Rd and the proximity to both Searles Valley and Salt Wells Valley. This record captures the modern footprint of these high-desert communities, showing the persistence of settlements in a region defined by extreme topography and seasonal basins like Poison Canyon.
