2021 Map of White Hills

About this map

The White Hills rise at the convergence of three California counties, marking a high-desert landscape where the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert transition into the Indian Wells Valley. This 2021 survey documents a sparse but strictly partitioned territory, defined by the meeting of Inyo, Kern, and San Bernardino counties. The land is navigated primarily via utility and access routes like Darwin Rd and Tower Rd, which cut through the varied topography of ridges and Dry Lakes. Because much of the area falls within specialized jurisdictions, the map records the specific road networks like Range Access Rd and Centerline Rd that serve the desert interior. The placement of these corridors reveals the modern management of this arid terrain, where natural features like the White Hills dictate the flow of travel through the basin.
