2012 Map of Iron Ridge

About this map

Iron Ridge anchors this arid San Bernardino County landscape, where the geography is defined by isolated transportation routes and high desert terrain. The naming of Bessemer Mine Rd suggests a history of mineral extraction and prospecting in the area, leading south through the drainage patterns toward broader valley floors. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern logistical infrastructure of the region, including the transit corridor of Canyon Rte and the utilitarian path of Powerline Rd. The map provides a precise layout of the seasonal desert washes and elevation contours that characterize this portion of the California desert, capturing a remote environment where human presence is primarily represented by these critical service and mining roads.
