2012 Map of Humbug Mountain

About this map

Old Dale sits at the northern edge of this high desert landscape, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads that stretch into the surrounding wilderness. The terrain is defined by the significant elevations of Humbug Mountain and the northeastern reaches of the Pinto Mountains, where the dry drainage patterns illustrate the complex alluvial fan systems of the San Bernardino County desert. Historically significant routes like Gold Crown Rd and Misty Trl wind through the topography, reflecting a legacy of desert transit and land use. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the sparse but deliberate human footprint in a region dominated by rugged peaks and vast, open basins.
