2018 Map of Fry Mountains

About this map

Upper Johnson Valley occupies the northern expanse of this 2018 survey, where the arid floor of the Mojave Desert meets the rising elevations of the Fry Mountains. The landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, ranging from the prominent Red Hill to the southern peak of Fry Mtn. While largely unsettled, the area is traversable via established corridors such as Camp Rock Rd and the utility-oriented Powerline Rd. A notable point of historical interest for mineral seekers is the Bessemer Mine Rd in the southeastern corner, hinting at the region's mining legacy. This topographic study captures the precise township and range boundaries that organize this section of San Bernardino County, illustrating the intersection of natural desert landforms and modern infrastructure.
