1986 Map of Alvord Mountain East

About this map

Alvord Mountain dominates this arid landscape in San Bernardino County, where dramatic elevation changes are defined by features like Alvord Peak and the winding Spanish Canyon. By the mid-1980s, this area served as a critical corridor for infrastructure and national defense, bisected by the Fort Irwin Military Reservation Boundary. The map reveals a high-desert environment utilized for communication and power, evidenced by several Transmission Lines and the Radio Facility (Host Sandy) perched on the higher ground. A network of 4wd trails provides the only access through the rugged terrain of Clews Ridge, indicating the isolation and challenging topography of this Mojave Desert region during the late twentieth century.
