About this map

Fry Mountains dominate this arid landscape within Johnson Valley, characterized by a sparse network of industrial and extractive infrastructure. During the early 1980s, the terrain was defined by extensive energy corridors, including a Double Steel Tower Transmission Line and a Single Steel Tower Transmission Line that cut across the high desert elevations.

Resource extraction is evident throughout the southern and central sections of the range, with numerous operations such as an Open Pit Mine, a smaller Mine, and various scattered prospects. These features, connected by a network of Jeep Trails, highlight the era's focus on mineral exploration and utility development in San Bernardino County. Notable landmarks like Red Hill and the peak of Fry Mountain serve as primary navigational points in this unpopulated, utility-heavy desert quadrangle.
