1986 Map of Conejo Well

About this map

Eagle Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this mid-1980s Riverside County survey, where the high desert terrain meets the low-lying Pinto Basin. The area is defined by its status as part of the Joshua Tree National Monument, including the designated Joshua Tree Wilderness. A notable point of human activity is the Storm Jade Mine in the northeast, reflecting the region's history of mineral exploration. Water sources are characteristically scarce in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Conejo Well (Dry). The map provides a detailed view of the township and range lines, such as T 3 S T 4 S, illustrating the precision of late 20th-century topographic mapping before the monument was redesigned as a national park.
