The Arlington Mine serves as the focal point of this arid landscape in Riverside County, situated where the sloping fans of the desert floor meet the northern reaches of the McCoy Mountains. This modern topographic study reveals the sparse industrial infrastructure of the region, defined primarily by two remote transport corridors: Palen Pass Rd and Arlington Mine Rd. To the northeast, the terrain ascends toward the Little Maria Mountains, with the map clearly delineating the complex drainage patterns and dry washes that shape the alluvial plains. This area is characterized by a lack of permanent settlements, highlighting its role as a specialized site for mineral extraction and desert transit within the vast public lands of Southern California.
