2021 Map of Calumet Mine

About this map

Calumet Mountains anchor the southern portion of this desert landscape, rising out of the surrounding Mojave Desert. The terrain transitions into the wide, low-lying expanse of the Cadiz Valley to the north, illustrating the characteristic basin and range topography of the eastern San Bernardino region. While the map is named for the mine located in these heights, the 2021 survey emphasizes the remote, natural character of the land, defined by deep drainage patterns and elevation shifts. Public Land Survey System grids, including t4n r13e and t5n r14e, provide a framework for the vast, undeveloped sections of the desert floor, reflecting the sparse human footprint in this part of California.
