2018 Map of Eagle Crags

About this map

Eagle Crags dominate this section of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, where the high desert landscape is defined by its sparse water sources and dramatic elevation changes. This 2018 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, identifies critical hydrologic features such as Blue Chalcedony Spring in the northern portion of the quadrangle and Mesquite Spring toward the southeast. These springs are vital landmarks in an otherwise arid terrain, historically serving as essential stops for travel and wildlife. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing the junctions of townships t28s r45e, t28s r46e, t29s r45e, and t29s r46e. These administrative grids provide a clear framework for understanding land management and ownership within this protected desert region.
