2018 Map of Clark Mountain

About this map

The Clark Mountain Range dominates this portion of the Mojave National Preserve in San Bernardino County. Reaching its highest point at Clark Mtn, the landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes and geological features such as the Clark Mountain Natural Arch and Colosseum Gorge. This high-desert environment is characterized by a series of critical water sources, including Whiskey Spring, Willow Spring, and Ivanpah Springs, which historically served as vital waypoints in an otherwise arid expanse. The transition from the open Mojave Desert floor into the steep drainages of Curtis Canyon and Kiwisar Canyon illustrates the complex topography of the Eastern Mojave. Utility infrastructure is noted by the presence of Powerline RD, providing a rare straight-line contrast to the winding canyons and ridges that define the wilderness area.
