2015 Map of Eagle Crags

About this map

Eagle Crags dominate the interior of this high-elevation quadrangle, where the land rises sharply above the Mojave Desert floor. This 2015 survey identifies a handful of critical water sources essential for survival and navigation in this arid landscape, including Moonshine Spring and Blue Chalcedony Spring. The topography reveals a complex network of ridgelines and drainages within the transition between Township 28 South and Township 29 South. Farther east, Mesquite Spring serves as another isolated landmark in a territory defined by its extreme relief and lack of permanent settlements. The map's detail provides an essential record of the natural hydrologic features and landform elevations that have historically dictated human movement through this corner of San Bernardino County.
