2012 Map of Iron Mountains
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The Iron Mountains dominate this 2012 topographic study of the Mojave Desert landscape in San Bernardino County. A critical piece of infrastructure, the Colorado River Aqueduct traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle, disappearing into the subterranean Iron Mountain Tunnel as it cuts through the desert terrain. To the north, the elevation drops into the expansive Ward Valley, which terminates at the edge of the Danby Lake dry lakebed. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of significant water transport engineering and the natural geological formations of the southeastern California desert. The infrastructure is further defined by secondary access routes like Power Line Rd, which tracks alongside the electrical and water utility corridors that sustain the region.
