2018 Map of Amboy Crater

About this map

Amboy Crater dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its volcanic form situated within the vast expanse of the Mojave Desert. The topography reveals the geological history of the region, from the volcanic remnants of the Lava Hills in the northwest to the rising elevations of the Bristol Mountains in the northeast. This 2018 survey documents a remote section of San Bernardino County where infrastructure is sparse, defined primarily by transportation corridors like Bagdad Way and Crater Rd. The map illustrates the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t6n r11e and t5n r12e overlaying the arid terrain, providing a framework for understanding land use and navigation in this stark desert environment.
