2012 Map of Coyote Lake

About this map

Coyote Lake dominates the eastern portion of this high desert landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of alluvial fans that feed into the dry lake bed. The road network reflects a history of desert habitation and mining exploration, with routes like Olympus Mine Rd and Starbright Mine Rd suggesting the local mineral pursuits common to this part of San Bernardino County. Ranching history is also evident in the named tracks such as Shenks Ranch Rd, Lazy Too Ranch Rd, and Rocking K Ranch Rd. In the north, Fort Irwin Rd and Camp Irwin Rd mark the proximity to military operations, while the remote Jack Rabbit Spring provides a rare point of named hydrology in an otherwise arid environment.
