1984 Map of Budweiser Wash

About this map

East Mojave National Scenic Area dominates the high desert landscape in this mid-1980s provisional study, showing the convergence of several major topographic features. The Old Dad Mountains rise sharply in the southwest, while the western edges of the Granite Mountains are visible to the east. The drainage of Budweiser Wash winds through the terrain, serving as a primary natural landmark for the region. Modern infrastructure is represented by a long Steel Tower Transmission Line and a parallel Pipeline crossing the northern sections. This map provides a look at the desert's management before its 1994 transition to a National Preserve, including specific water management sites like the Guzzler noted near the eastern wash. The map's status as a provisional edition reflects the use of 1980 aerial photography to document this sparsely settled portion of San Bernardino County.
