2012 Map of Camp Rock Mine

About this map

The Camp Rock Mine is the central historical landmark in this arid reach of the Rodman Mountains, reflecting the mineral extraction efforts common in San Bernardino County’s desert interior. This 2012 survey documents a remote landscape defined by the drainage of Kane Wash, which trends northeast across the high terrain. Access to the area is primarily afforded by the junction of Camp Rock Rd and Troy Rd, which cut through the open desert floor to reach the mining site. The spatial relationship between the wash and the mountain foothills reveals a typical pattern of desert topography where seasonal watercourses and isolation dictate the placement of local infrastructure and resource exploration.
