2018 Map of Fifteenmile Valley

About this map

Fifteenmile Valley and its high desert surroundings are defined by stark topographic shifts, where the alluvial flats of the valley floor meet the jagged elevations of the Granite Mountains and the Deadman Hills. This 2018 survey captures the region's complex network of rural desert roads and residential developments, showing how habitation has spread through areas like Fifteenmile Point and towards the prominent landmark of Chimney Rock. The hydrology of the area is centered on the expansive Deadman Dry Lake to the northwest, while the southeastern corner is drained by Silver Creek. Significant geological features, including Arrastre Canyon, Lovelace Canyon, and Grapevine Canyon, reveal the drainage patterns and rugged corridors that carve through the local ranges.
