2015 Map of Arlington Mine

About this map

The Arlington Mine serves as a central landmark in this desert region of Riverside County, situated at the base of the McCoy Mountains. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape defined by expansive drainage systems, most notably the braided channels of McCoy Wash that dominate the western half of the map. Historically significant travel routes such as Pattons Cabin Rd and Arlington Mine Rd provide access to the interior, reflecting the area's long association with mining and military training. In the north, the terrain rises toward the Little Maria Mountains, while the central portion is defined by the high relief of the McCoys. The map's grid of section lines and township boundaries, including t4s r20e, overlay a territory where natural topography and seasonal water flow dictate the path of every road and settlement site.
