About this map

The Palen Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Riverside County region, overlooking the expansive Chuckwalla Valley (Depression). The terrain is defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses labeled as Dry Wash that drain toward the south. Near the bottom of the basin, the Ford Dry Lake serves as a natural catchment point for these seasonal flows, illustrating the typical arid drainage patterns of the California desert during the early 1980s.
