Garlock Road is located in the Mojave Desert of eastern Kern County in Fremont Valley. The corridor originated in 1873 as part of the Searles Brothers stage road between Mojave and their Borax plant in Searles Valley. The modern roadway is named for the Garlock ghost town which was a stamp mill community founded in 1896 to service ore from the Yellow Aster Mine. Garlock Road begins at Redrock-Randsburg Road and terminates 8.3 miles to the east at US Route 395.
