2015 Map of Conejo Well

About this map

Joshua Tree National Park encompasses the majority of this desert terrain, where the arid floor of the Pinto Basin meets the northern slopes of the Eagle Mountains. The landscape is defined by vast alluvial systems like Smoke Tree Wash, which drain the surrounding highlands into the basin floor. Historically, water sources were the critical lifelines of this portion of the Mojave Desert, exemplified by the namesake Conejo Well located in the southwestern quadrant near the mountain foothills. The presence of Old Dale Rd in the northwest suggests the long-standing transit corridors used by miners and travelers crossing between the basin and the surrounding ranges. This 2015 survey provides a precise view of the topography and township boundaries that have governed land management in this protected wilderness area.
