Lanfair Valley, Mojave National Preserve, California
View Original Description
South of the New York Mountains along Ivanpah and Lanfair roads, this high valley shelters an impressive Joshua tree forest and was an early ranching and homesteading center. From 1893 until 1923, the Nevada Southern Railway ran up the valley from Goffs, Calif., providing services to homesteaders and ranchers in the valley and to miners in the mountains beyond. While little evidence remains of the homesteads that once dotted the valley, tracts of private property still exist.
