About this map

Mining operations and rugged desert drainage patterns define this corridor of the Mojave at the start of the 21st century. The map highlights several specific industrial sites, including the Paymaster Mine Shaft, Westside Mine, Apex Mine, and the Black Warrior Mine, clustered near Mine Valley. These sites point to a history of extraction in the arid mountains between Utah Hill Summit and Jarvis Peak.

Water management in this high-desert environment is evidenced by the presence of the Quail Reservoir and Mine Valley Reservoir, which collect runoff from various washes like Cottonwood Wash and Curly Hollow Wash. Transportation through the region follows established paths such as Old Hwy 91 and the Mojave Desert Joshua Tree Rd, providing access through Bulldog Pass and toward the prominent White Cliff.
