2015 Map of Alvord Mountain West

About this map

Coyote Lake defines the western margin of this arid landscape, its dry bed appearing as a broad salt pan or playa within the larger Mojave Desert. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward the peaks of Alvord Mountain, where contour lines reveal the complex drainage patterns of seasonal washes flowing toward the basin. The survey delineates the township and range lines of t12n r2e, t12n r3e, t11n r2e, and t11n r3e, showing the intersection of public land survey grids in a region largely devoid of permanent structures. Access to the area is primarily facilitated by Coyote-Lake-Rd, which skirts the southern edge of the lake bed, providing a route for those traversing this remote section of San Bernardino County.
