2012 Map of Fenner Spring

About this map

The Piute Mountains dominate this high desert landscape in San Bernardino County, where transportation routes and water sources dictate the geography of human activity. The modern Interstate 40 corridor follows the historical path of the National Trails Hwy, passing through the notable high point of Mountain Springs Summit. This pass has long been a critical transit point for travelers crossing the Mojave, as evidenced by the nearby Mountain Spring Camp and the presence of Mountain Springs Rd. To the southwest, the eponymous Fenner Spring sits at the base of the mountain range, representing a vital water point in an otherwise arid environment. The map also captures the junction with Goffs Rd, illustrating the sparse but essential road network that connects these remote desert points.
