About this map

Joshua Tree National Park encompasses the majority of this desert landscape, where the southern boundary of Twentynine Palms meets the high desert plateaus of the Mojave Desert. The map reveals a complex network of trail systems and heritage sites, including the Quail Springs Historic area and the family-named landmark Samuelsons Rock. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Indian Cove to the elevated heights of Quail Mtn and Mt Minerva Hoyt.

Evidence of early desert travel and homesteading is preserved in named paths such as the Old Queen Valley Historic Road and the Old Lost Horse Road. Essential water sources like Sneakeye Spring, Johnson Spring, and Willow Hole appear as vital points in the arid environment. The residential development of Panorama Heights stands in contrast to the preserved wilderness of Hidden Valley and Lost Horse Valley further south.
