2018 Map of Juniper Mine

About this map

The Juniper Mine sits tucked within the high-relief terrain of the Newberry Mountains along the eastern edge of this desert landscape. This area is defined by the sharp convergence of the Mojave Desert and the Piute Valley, where the state line between Nevada and California meets the county boundary separating Clark and San Bernardino counties. The map illustrates a harsh environment where water sources like Juniper Spring were essential for survival and industry. Modern transportation corridors, including US Rte 95 and Highway 163, cut across the arid basins and around the Chiquita Hills, following the path of least resistance through the complex topography of the southern tip of Nevada.
