Phelan

Few communities in California have a history as closely tied to High Desert ranching as Phelan. At the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, it occupies the southwestern margin of the Mojave Desert, where broad, dry terrain meets the rising mountain slopes. The community was named for John Phelan, a rancher and early landowner. California State Route 138 runs through the area, linking Phelan with other settlements across the desert and mountain foothills.
