2015 Map of Hayden

About this map

Providence Mountains dominate the southeastern landscape of this High Desert region, located within the expansive Mojave National Preserve. The small settlement of Hayden sits along the Kelso Cima Rd, serving as a rare human waypoint in an area defined by its arid drainage systems. The map detail highlights the importance of intermittent water sources in this environment, including Bolder Spring, Macedonia Spring, and the uniquely named Tough Nut Spring. These springs are vital features tucked into the folds of the mountains and canyons. Narrow ephemeral waterways such as Kelso Wash, Cedar Wash, and Summit Wash carve through the Mojave Desert floor, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns that dictate movement and land use in this part of San Bernardino County.
