2015 Map of Burro Canyon

About this map

The Argus Range defines the high relief of this section of the Mojave Desert, where steep drainage systems like Burro Canyon and Deadman Canyon carve through the arid terrain. This 2015 survey details the border between Inyo and San Bernardino counties, a line that cuts across the northern reaches of China Lake. The landscape is largely defined by its hydrological features, including the seasonal Sweetwater Wash in the northeast and Wilson Canyon to the north. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to utility and service routes such as G2 Tower Rd, which provides access through the expansive desert flats toward the more rugged mountain slopes.
