Mojave

Mojave is a city located in the southwestern region of the United States of America (most likely in California).

Thanks to irrigation and weather-modification projects, by the 23rd century the city was surrounded by lush forests and grasslands, rather than the scrub-brush desert typical of the area in the late-20th and early-21st centuries.

Starfleet Fleet captain Christopher Pike was born in Mojave in the early 23rd century.

(TOS episode: The Cage).
