2021 Map of East of Milligan

About this map

Mojave Desert terrain dominates this eastern portion of the Milligan area, characterized by the broad, sloping drainage of Ward Valley. This landscape reflects the sparse infrastructure typical of high-desert basins, where transportation routes are dictated by the natural topography of the valley floor. Historically, these areas served as critical corridors for communications and regional transit, as seen in the presence of Telephone Line Rd and Cadiz Rd. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t3n r18e and t2n r19e, provides the primary structure for this expanse of San Bernardino County. These designations highlight the vast, surveyed but largely undeveloped tracts that were often utilized for mining access, ranching, and utility right-of-ways throughout the twentieth century.
