2012 Map of Hopkins Well

About this map

Chuckwalla Valley Rd and the corridor of Interstate 10 cut across this desert landscape in the early 21st century. The map centers on the Chuckwalla Valley, a wide expanse of desert terrain defined by numerous dry wash patterns that descend from the surrounding heights toward the basin floor. To the south, the foothills of the Little Chuckwalla Mountains rise, providing a stark topographical contrast to the valley floor. Historically significant water sources like Hopkins Well are recorded here, marking the vital points of human and animal survival in the arid Colorado Desert. The presence of Wiley Well Rd in the southeastern corner indicates the established routes used by travelers and rockhounds accessing this remote portion of Riverside County.
