2018 Map of Emerson Lake

About this map

Emerson Lake sits as a prominent dry basin within this high-elevation stretch of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by the stark isolation of the desert floor, interconnected by a network of primitive tracks and named desert routes. Access into the more remote canyons is traced via the Mustang Trl, while the southeastern corner is navigated by Creole Mine Rd and Giant Rock Rd, suggesting a history of mineral exploration and backcountry travel. The survey details the townships of t4n r5e and t4n r6e, providing a precise look at the topographical contours of the surrounding ridges before they descend into the flat expanse of the lake bed. This map is particularly useful for those tracking the legacy of desert roads like Ghost Rd and Wildey Rd across this arid terrain.
