About this map

Hayden serves as a lone settlement marker along the transportation corridor that cuts through the Mojave National Preserve in San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the broad flats of the Mojave Desert to the high elevations of the Providence Mountains in the southeast. This terrain is carved by ephemeral drainage systems such as Kelso Wash and Cedar Wash, which transport sediment from the highlands toward the desert floor.

Critical water sources appear as isolated springs in the mountain folds, including Macedonia Spring in Macedonia Canyon and Tough Nut Spring further south. These points of permanent water, alongside Bolder Spring, have historically dictated travel and survival in this arid environment. The map details the complex topography of Globe Canyon and the surrounding peaks, providing a clear record of the area's geological and hydrographic structure during the early twenty-first century.
