About this map

The Argus Range defines the eastern skyline of this high-desert landscape, where the northern Mojave Desert meets the steep alluvial fans of eastern California. This 2021 survey shows a topography dominated by dramatic elevation changes, from the flat reaches of the Indian Wells Valley in the southwest to the rugged drainages of Burro Canyon and Deadman Canyon. A single county boundary cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, marking the divide between Inyo Co and San Bernardino Co.

Transportation in this arid environment is limited to utility and access routes like G2 Tower Rd and A Rd, which navigate the foothills below the peak of the range. To the north, the terrain transitions into the deep carving of Wilson Canyon. The map preserves the exact alignment of these desert tracks and the natural hydrology of the canyons as they appeared in the early 2020s, providing a precise record for land-use researchers and desert explorers.
