2015 Map of Broadwell Lake

About this map

Broadwell sits at the northern edge of a desert valley defined by the expansive bed of Broadwell Lake. This 2015 topographic study captures the arid character of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, where drainage patterns are dictated by features like Broadwell Wash and Argos Wash. The map documents the high relief of the surrounding landscape, anchored by the Bristol Mountains to the north and the Cady Mountains to the southwest. Sparse infrastructure is represented by Crucero Rd, which cuts through the valley floor. The map's detail provides a clear view of the complex alluvial fans and seasonal watercourses that shape this part of the California desert, offering an essential record for those studying desert topography or regional land use near the Broadwell settlement site.
