2015 Map of Blue Mountain

About this map

Chocolate Mountains dominate this arid expanse of southeastern California, where the desert floor is carved by a dense network of complex drainage washes. In the northern section of the quadrangle, Blue Mtn rises as a distinct peak amidst the rugged township lines of t11s r18e and t11s r19e. The map illustrates a landscape primarily defined by its physical geography rather than human habitation, revealing the intricate topographical contours that characterize this portion of the Colorado Desert. The absence of modern roads or settlements emphasizes the remote nature of the terrain, making this a clear record of the natural landforms as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
