2015 Map of Homer Mountain

About this map

Old Government Rd winds across this desert landscape, tracing a path through the northern reaches of the Mojave National Preserve. This historic thoroughfare connects the rugged heights of the Piute Range in the west to the broader expanse of the Mojave Desert to the east. A critical water source in this arid environment, Piute Spring is located at the base of the range, an essential landmark for travelers navigating the corridor between the mountains and the Piute Valley. The southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the complex topography of Homer Mtn, where the elevation rises sharply from the surrounding basins. North-south transit is facilitated by Walter Rd, which skirts the western foothills of the peak. The map illustrates a classic desert geography of isolated springs and historical transit routes that defined movement across the San Bernardino County interior.
