1984 Map of Fenner Spring

About this map

The Piute Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, where the transition between the Fenner Valley and Ward Valley is defined by sharp topographic shifts and traditional travel corridors. Transit history is central here, as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the National Trail Highway cut across the northwestern corner, providing a glimpse into the infrastructure that bridged the Mojave. While the area is largely defined by the protected East Mojave National Scenic Area, localized markers like Fenner Spring (Dry) and the Mountain Springs Summit indicate the vital importance of water and passage for early travelers. The presence of Goffs Road and Mountain Springs Road suggests a network of access points used by those navigating this arid environment during the mid-1980s.
