2018 Map of Clarks Pass

About this map

Joshua Tree National Park anchors the southern half of this desert landscape, where the terrain shifts between prominent mountain ranges and arid basins. The Sheep Hole Mountains dominate the northern section, separated from the southern Pinto Mountains by the natural corridor of Clarks Pass. This transition point within the Mojave Desert highlights the fundamental geography of the region before it descends into the Pinto Basin. The map also captures the administrative boundary where San Bernardino County and Riverside County meet, cutting directly through the wilderness. This survey provides a clear look at the undeveloped character of the high desert, documenting the primitive roads and natural landmarks that define this protected territory.
