1985 Map of Dale Lake

The small settlement or site labeled Bush sits near the intersection of the primary roads and the lake's northern edge, marking a rare point of human activity in the open basin. Evidence of drainage patterns is clear through the numerous Wash labels, indicating the seasonal flow of water from the high peaks toward the dry lake bed. Ironage Road provides further access to the eastern slopes, reflecting the area's history of desert navigation and land management in San Bernardino County.
