About this map

The Fremont (Site) marks the center of this 1970s desert landscape, situated near the intersection of several historic transit routes. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade running roughly north-to-south suggests a period when industrial transport supported local activity, though by this era the map identifies only isolated Prospects and a Prospect scattered among the contours.

Evidence of historical land use persists in the southern portion of the quadrangle, including a Corral and a Dry Well. The eastern edge is bordered by Fremont Peak Road and Cuddeback Rd, while a significant portion of the southwestern corner falls within the U S Military Res. This map illustrates a transition from mining and rail operations to a more sparse, managed landscape in the San Bernardino high desert.
