2018 Map of Avawatz Pass
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Avawatz Pass serves as a critical topographic corridor between the Avawatz Mountains and the lower elevations of the Mojave Desert and the southern reaches of Death Valley. The landscape is defined by its transition from high mountain terrain to arid basins, where scattered water sources such as Denning Spring and Cottonwood Spring provide rare points of relief. A significant portion of this southern California desert is occupied by the military training grounds of NTC and Fort Irwin, illustrating the modern land use of this remote area. Topographical details reveal the drainage patterns surrounding peaks and canyons, including the locations of Arrastre Spring and Cave Spring, which historically marked essential stops for travelers and explorers navigating this high-relief environment.
