About this map

Union Pacific rail lines dominate the western desert landscape of this San Bernardino County survey, tracking north toward the small settlement of Dawes. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Providence Mountains, where a concentration of prospects and mine shafts indicates a legacy of mineral exploration within the high country. Resource extraction and water management are the primary human signatures on this arid landscape, evidenced by a series of levees along the tracks and the placement of a Corral near the mountain base.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this environment, with several named features like Macedonia Spring and Tough Nut Spring located deep within the canyons. The eastern portion of the map is defined by significant topographical relief, including Globe Canyon and the high point at Summit. The area around Hayden shows the intersection of these transport corridors and the natural drainage systems of Kelso Wash and Cedar Wash.
