2002 Map of Chuckwalla Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Chuckwalla Valley and the surrounding desert peaks are the focal point of this 2002 National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency survey, which illustrates the intersection of mid-century infrastructure and preserved wilderness. The small settlement of Desert Center sits alongside an underground pipeline, while the planned community around Lake Tamarisk features a golf course and mobile home park in the arid landscape. The map captures a transition between public and restricted lands, bordering the southeast corner of Joshua Tree National Park and the northern reaches of the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range. Notable local history markers include the Gruendikes Well (Site) and several remote Prospects, signaling the area's mining past. The Bradshaw Boundary and Edmund C Jaeger Nature Sanctuary further define the land use, where natural drainages like Dragon Wash and Alligator Wash carve through the basin toward the Chuckwalla Mountains.
