2018 Map of Ash Hill

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain dominates this 2018 survey, centered on the historic railroad-adjacent location of Ash Hill. The landscape is defined by the stark topography of the Bristol Mountains to the north and the expansive drainage of Broadwell Wash cutting across the northwestern quadrants. This map documents the essential transportation infrastructure crossing this arid corridor, where modern interstate travel parallels the historic pathways of earlier eras. Further east, the settlement of Klondike serves as another focal point along the rail line, connected by the local Klondike Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range survey lines that grid this section of San Bernardino County, illustrating the intersection of large-scale environmental features and the human engineering required to traverse them.
