2012 Map of Galway Lake

About this map

Galway Lake sits at the heart of this high desert terrain, depicted here during a 2012 survey of the Southern California landscape. This area is defined by the stark topography of Argos Mountain and the transition through Gays Pass, illustrating the geographic isolation of the San Bernardino County interior. The presence of the 29 Palms MCAG boundary indicates the intersection of military land management and the natural desert environment. The map provides a precise view of the dry lake bed and surrounding contours, essential for understanding the hydrology and land use patterns of this specific Mojave Desert quadrangle during the early 21st century.
