Barstow

Barstow occupies the Mojave River valley in California’s Mojave Desert. The city stands at a long-established transport crossroads: Interstate 15, Interstate 40 and historic Route 66 meet its road network, while BNSF freight traffic underlines Barstow’s continuing rail role. The Mojave River is often dry at the surface here, a reminder that this is desert shaped by seasonal watercourses rather than a conventional riverside setting. Casa del Desierto, the 1911 Harvey House and railroad depot, houses the Route 66 Mother Road Museum and the Western America Railroad Museum.
