2015 Map of Hart Peak

About this map

Hart Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, where the state boundary between Nevada and California bisects the terrain. This map documents a region defined by the high desert elevations of the Castle Mountains and the Piute Range. The presence of Hart Mine Rd and the settlement of Hart point to the area's mining history, while Stagecoach Spring and Lewis Holes indicate critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment. The vast majority of the land falls within the Mojave National Preserve, which protects the unique geological features and sparse vegetation of the Mojave Desert. The diagonal line of the Clark Co San Bernardino Co boundary and the state line create a complex jurisdictional grid over the open valley floor near Juan.
