About this map

Mojave National Preserve encompasses most of this arid landscape, dominated by the prominent peaks of Hackberry Mtn. The terrain is defined by wide expanses like Lanfair Valley and Fenner Valley, which are separated by smaller outcrops such as the Bobcat Hills and Vontrigger Hills. This high desert environment is punctuated by vital water sources, specifically Hackberry Spring and Vontrigger Spring, which have historically served as critical landmarks in an otherwise unforgiving region.

Lanfair Rd provides the primary north-south transit corridor through the desert, cutting across the open flats and skirting the base of the mountains. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern management of these public lands, showing how the administrative boundaries of the preserve overlay the natural topography of the eastern Mojave Desert. The map reveals a land defined more by its geological features and sparse desert springs than by human settlement.
