The Calumet Mountains dominate this 2015 survey of the Mojave Desert in eastern San Bernardino County. This section of the desert is characterized by its high-contrast topography, where the rugged peaks of the Calumet range rise sharply from the surrounding basins. The map illustrates the complex network of dry washes and alluvial fans that spill out from the mountain slopes, detailing the natural drainage patterns of this arid landscape. This modern U.S. Geological Survey topographic study serves as a clear record of the physical geography and public land survey system divisions in this uninhabited portion of the California desert, showing the precise alignment of township and range lines across the difficult terrain.
