2021 Map of Alvord Mountain West

About this map

Jack Rabbit Spring and the expansive dry bed of Coyote Lake define this high-desert environment within the Mojave Desert. The map details a landscape transition from the arid flats of the lake bed to the rising elevations of Alvord Mountain in the northeast. This 2021 study illustrates a modern network of desert access routes including Coyote Lake Rd, Paradise Springs Rd, and Bragdon Rd, which navigate the township lines of T12N R2E and T11N R3E. The absence of dense settlement highlights the topographical character of the basin-and-range terrain, where ephemeral water sources and rugged mountain slopes dictate the movement through this corner of San Bernardino County.
