2014 Map of Crescent Peak

About this map

Mojave National Preserve covers the southern expanse of this high desert terrain, where the state boundary between Nevada and California cuts diagonally across the landscape. The geography is defined by the prominent McCullough Range to the north and the northern reaches of the New York Mountains in the southeast, with Crescent Peak standing as a significant local landmark. This arid region is punctuated by a network of vital water sources, including Bullion Spring, Surveyors Spring, and Crescent Spring, which likely served as essential stops for travelers and prospectors navigating the harsh environment.
