About this map

Hart Peak stands as a prominent high point in this high desert landscape, which is defined by the intersection of the Castle Mountains and the Piute Range. This 2018 survey documents a region of significant federal conservation, showing the overlapping boundaries of the Mojave National Preserve and the Castle Mountains National Monument. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial spans like Lanfair Valley and isolated water sources such as Quail Spring and Lewis Holes.

A notable man-made feature is Hart Mine Rd, which traces a path through the northwest corner of the map, hinting at the area's prospecting history. The map also delineates the precise diagonal border between Nevada and California, where the Mojave Desert's arid reaches cross from San Bernardino County into Clark County. This modern topographic record captures the area's transition into a protected wilderness while preserving the names of the routes and springs that once served early travelers and miners.
