About this map

The Clark Mountain Range dominates this portion of the high desert, rising sharply above the Ivanpah Valley within the Mojave National Preserve. Centered on the peak of Clark Mtn, the landscape is defined by dramatic geological features such as the Clark Mountain Natural Arch and the deep cuts of Colosseum Gorge. This terrain is critical for desert survival, marked by a network of seasonal water sources including Whiskey Spring, Willow Spring, and Burro Spring.

Transitioning from the desert floor into the high elevations, the map reveals the complex drainage patterns of Antimony Gulch and Curtis Canyon. Remote access is traced through Keany Pass and along the lonely corridor of Powerline Rd. This survey serves as a modern record of the interior Mojave landscape, documenting the springs and natural landmarks that have long guided movement through these arid mountains.
