A NorthCountryIgnoramus question: a quick look at the map suggests that this stretch may have little of interest. Is there anything of geological, historical, cultural, scenic etc. interest along Rtes 58-14-138?
On the one hand, it would be easy to say @zbb is overstating what there is to see, i.e. less than that. On the other hand, some of it is a little like a painted desert, and it kind of grows on you.
Visitor CenterDiscover Hidden Treasure
Buried deep in the Mojave Desert is one of the biggest and richest deposits of borax on the planet. You will also find the Borax Visitor Center, one of the best kept secrets of the Southern California desert. Built in 1997, it had more than 126,845 visitors as of the end of 2010.

I almost mentioned the Borax mines. Didn't realize there was a visitors center (we were towards the end of a 3 week road trip and focused on getting home...) That actually might be kind of interesting...
In Spring, I'd recommend detouring a little to see the California Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. It's quite beautiful if there's been enough precipitation and all of the poppies are in bloom. (Hopefully this winter won't be as dry as the last two.)
Driven mostly along that route several times (from Big Bear to Tejon actually). There are lots of historical markers along the way. Lots of history relating to the creation of the railroads, Native American (Cowboys and Indians) battles, exploration of California during spanish times, etc...
