White Cross

The Mojave Memorial Cross, officially known as the White Cross World War I Memorial, is a cross formerly on public land in the Mojave desert. The original cross was erected in 1934 to honor those killed in war. The cross stands on Sunrise Rock, a granite outcropping adjacent to Cima Road. The area is a saddle between Cima Dome and the Ivanpah Mountains, both of which are part of the Mojave National Preserve.
