1988 Map of East Deception Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Little San Bernardino Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape, where steep ridgelines descend into the distinct drainages of East Deception Canyon and West Deception Canyon. The 1980s terrain reveals a complex intersection of preservation and infrastructure, as the Joshua Tree National Monument boundary meets the critical path of the Colorado River Aqueduct. This massive engineering feat is visible as it traverses the southern slopes, including a mapped Siphon near Fan Hill.
