2015 Map of Black Hills

About this map

Black Hills rise sharply from the arid floor of the Mojave Desert in this portion of San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by the high, ridged topography of the hills themselves, which dominate the central and southeastern portions of the map. To the northwest, Christmas Canyon cuts through the terrain, providing a natural corridor across the higher elevations. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation reflects the modern topographical state of the region, meticulously documenting the Public Land Survey System grid with designations for t28s r43e, t28s r44e, t29s r43e, and t29s r44e. The map serves as a record of the undeveloped desert environment, capturing the specific contours and drainage patterns that characterize this segment of the California interior.
