2012 Map of Hidden Valley West

About this map

Wilhelm Wash and the Mojave River define this arid landscape within the Mojave Desert. The terrain is marked by the eastern reaches of the Cady Mountains, where steep contours give way to broad alluvial plains. This environment is characterized by ephemeral drainage patterns, with seasonal runoff channels carving through the desert floor. A significant point of interest for those tracking historical water sources in the region is the Ninemile Waterhole, located in the northwestern portion of the map. This feature suggests the critical importance of localized water points for travelers and wildlife in an otherwise dry and formidable environment during the early 21st century.
