2015 Map of Cowhole Mountain

About this map

Mojave National Preserve encompasses a vast portion of this desert landscape, characterized by the dramatic topography of the Bristol Mountains and the prominent peak of Cowhole Mtn. The transport corridor is defined by the Union Pacific railroad, which follows a path across the southern portion of the sheet near the drainage of Kelso Wash. The small settlement of Sands sits along these tracks, serving as a rare human footprint in an area otherwise dominated by the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert.
