The desert terrain around Yermo is dry, open Mojave country of gravel plains and low mountains, which has shaped both the settlement’s roadside layout and its transport-based economy. Interstate 15 and a major freight rail corridor pass through this small California community, linking Southern California with Las Vegas and the interior West. The Calico Mountains rise nearby, home to Calico Ghost Town Regional Park on the site of a silver-mining settlement founded in 1881.
