1986 Map of Drinkwater Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Fort Irwin Military Reservation dominates this desert landscape, where the shifting sands and rocky outcrops of the Granite Mountains intersect with the dry expanse of Drinkwater Lake. This mid-1980s survey reveals a terrain defined by sparse water sources and specialized infrastructure, featuring isolated sites like Drinkwater Spring and Devouge Spring. The presence of a marked Grave in the southern portion of the quadrangle suggests the solitary and often harsh history of travel through these arid corridors. Infrastructure is minimal, represented by a Radio Facility and Radio Tower perched on higher elevations, serving the communication needs of the military range. Geographic landmarks such as Granite Pass provide natural transition points through the high desert, while scattered wells and water tanks underscore the logistical challenges of the Mojave environment.
