Cima (Spanish for "Summit") is a small unincorporated community in the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County, California, in the United States.

It lies in a mountain pass on the divide between the Ivanpah Valley and the Mojave River basin, at an elevation of 4,175 feet (1,273 m).

Gibson refused to pump the gas for his customers and therefore may have created the first self-service station in the country.

[1] The site served as both a railroad siding and a commercial center for ranchers and miners.

Both sites also lie within the Mojave National Preserve, with the attendant tourist activity.
