2018 Map of Blackwater Well

About this map

The high desert landscape of San Bernardino County is documented in this 2018 survey, centered on the historic Blackwater Well site within the Mojave Desert. This remote interior region is characterized by significant topographical relief, most notably the Black Hills rising in the northern portion of the map and the broad expanse of Grass Valley to the southeast. Human infrastructure is minimal in this arid environment, represented primarily by the unpaved corridor of Granit Wells Rd, which provides access through the rugged terrain. The map meticulously records the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t29s r43e and t30s r44e, serving as a precise modern reference for land boundaries and geographic features in this corner of the California desert.
