1985 Map of Broadwell Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Bristol Mountains dominate this Mojave Desert landscape, characterized by high-elevation ridges and intricate desert washes. The topography is defined by the massive basaltic platform of Broadwell Mesa, which creates a stark plateau above the surrounding basin. This mid-1980s provisional survey highlights the sparse but critical water sources and geologic landmarks that defined movement through this arid region. Life and activity in this corner of San Bernardino County are marked by isolated features like Hyten Spring and a notable Natural Arch, suggesting a landscape where survival and navigation depended entirely on these few identifiable points. Evidence of human industry appears only as a single Mine located in the northern reaches, emphasizing the specialized and temporary nature of settlement in this part of the California desert.
