2015 Map of Fry Mountains

About this map

The Fry Mountains dominate this section of the Mojave Desert, rising sharply above the surrounding arid basins. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic map documents a landscape defined by dramatic relief and isolated landmarks such as Red Hill and Fry Mtn. The region is a study in high-desert geography, where the northern Upper Johnson Valley meets the lower slopes of the range. Human presence is limited primarily to infrastructure and access routes, including Camp Rock Rd and Bessemer Mine Rd. These corridors, along with Powerline Rd, provide the essential framework for navigating the desert floor and accessing remote mining and utility sites scattered across the township and range boundaries of t6n r3e and t5n r3e.
