2018 Map of Hidden Spring

About this map

Hidden Spring serves as a central focal point in this 2018 survey of the high Mojave Desert. This desert landscape is defined by the intersection of significant land management boundaries, including the southern reaches of Death Valley National Park and the restricted NAWS China Lake Randsburg Wash Area. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevations of the Owlshead Mountains to the northeast and the Quail Mountains to the south, with the Crystal Hills and Long Valley forming distinct topographical transitions between these ranges. Navigational access is largely restricted to Goldstone Rd, which skirts the western edge of the military reservation. To the southeast, the map captures a portion of NTC and Fort Irwin, illustrating the extensive federal and military footprint that shapes this part of San Bernardino County.
