2021 Map of Hopps Well

About this map

Mojave National Preserve anchors the southwest corner of this arid landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions between the New York Mountains and the Castle Mountains. This modern survey documents the rugged borderlands between Clark County, Nevada, and San Bernardino County, California, capturing a network of remote ranching roads and vital water sources like Burro Springs and The Spring. The transport infrastructure is defined by isolated routes such as Walking Box Ranch Rd and Nipton Rd, which trace the expansive flats of the Mojave Desert. To the east, the map opens into the Piute Valley, illustrating the immense scale of the basin-and-range topography. Researchers will find the township and range lines provide a clear grid for locating historical land claims and water rights in a region where geography is defined by scarce resources and significant elevation changes.
