2012 Map of Cadiz Valley NW

About this map

Cadiz Lake sits in the northeast corner of this arid landscape in San Bernardino County. The desert terrain is defined by dry washes and drainage patterns that descend toward the salt flats and basins characteristic of the region. This 2012 survey documents the desolate topography between the Calumet Mountains and the Kilbeck Hills, showing a network of ephemeral watercourses that flow only during rare desert storms. The lack of permanent structures or roads across this vast area reflects the extreme environment and preserved wilderness typical of the Mojave desert interior during the early twenty-first century.
