2018 Map of Hidden Valley East

About this map

Cady Mountains rise over the high desert landscape, anchoring this section of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. The topography is defined by seasonal drainage systems, most notably the wide paths of Baxter Wash and Hidden Valley Wash, which indicate the powerful alluvial processes shaping the region's basin-and-range profile. Within this arid expanse lies the namesake Hidden Valley, an area where the complex desert terrain forms a natural depression between the surrounding uplands. The U.S. Geological Survey topographic data reveals a land primarily defined by its natural features and drainage patterns, with the Public Land Survey System grids marking out the township and range lines across the uninhabited desert floor.
