1985 Map of Broadwell Mesa

About this map

Hyten Spring serves as a vital water point in this high-desert landscape, located within the southern reaches of the Bristol Mountains. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of Broadwell Mesa, which dominates the southern portion of the sheet. Surveyed during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the map documents a largely uninhabited expanse defined by its geological formations, including a Natural Arch situated in the southwestern section. The land is strictly partitioned by township and range lines, such as the boundary between T 11 N and T 10 N, reflecting the formal cadastral organization of the Mojave region. This document captures the wilderness prior to modern environmental designations, focusing on the literal relief and drainage patterns of the volcanic and sedimentary features that define the San Bernardino backcountry.
