The Mojave Desert is the driest and smallest of the North American deserts and was named after the Mohave tribe of Native Americans.

The Mojave Desert covers over 22,000 square miles (57,000 sq km) and stretches across parts of four States – Southeastern California, Southwestern Utah, Southern Nevada and Western Arizona.

The Tehachapi, San Gabriel and San Bernadino mountains border the Mojave’s Western edge. To the south is the hot Sonoran Desert, and the cooler Great Basin Desert lies to the north. Some scientists think that the Mojave isn’t really a desert, it’s just the land between these two other deserts.

There are several national parks in the area including the Mojave National Preserve, the Joshua Tree National Park and Death Valley, which is the hottest place in North America.

n the Mojave, people traditionally built their homes around springs, along trails and later along roads. These centers developed into way stations and transportation hubs, such as Barstow with its railway lines.

Some centers continued to expand and have become modern Mojave cities, including Victorville, Barstow, Palmdale, Ridgecrest and Needles in California and Las Vegas in Nevada. Las Vegas is the largest and fastest growing Mojave city. Other centers built along Route 66 declined when the interstate highways were built.
