Mojave National Preserve encompasses the majority of this arid landscape, documenting a portion of the high desert in San Bernardino County as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the sweeping Devils Playground and the distinctive Kelso Dunes, which dominate the southeastern quadrant. These geological features are shaped by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the Kelso Wash, which cuts across the northern half of the map, and the Budweiser Wash to the west. Small historical points of interest like Glasgow and Kerens provide markers of human presence along the northern rail or road corridor. The map illustrates the harsh geometry of the Mojave Desert, where deep alluvial fans and isolated landmarks like Bull Canyon reveal the complex hydrology and topography of one of California's most protected desert environments.
