2015 Map of White Horse Mountain

About this map

Lucerne Lake dominates the southern basin of this High Desert landscape, sitting at the junction of several prominent mountain ranges. The terrain transitions from the dry lakebed up toward the Granite Mountains and White Horse Mtn in the west, while the Ord Mountains rise to the northeast. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation shows the growing road network of Lucerne Valley and North Lucerne Valley, where a grid of residential and connector roads like Lucerne Rd and Barstow Rd meet the open expanse of the Mojave Desert. The map provides a clear view of the complex topography of the region, from the steep slopes of Sidewinder Mtn to the isolated peak of Peterman Hill, illustrating how the valley floor is defined by its surrounding high relief.
