1984 Map of Kingston Peak

About this map

Kingston Peak dominates this high-elevation desert landscape in San Bernardino County, rising from the Kingston Range to overlook a complex network of arid drainage patterns. The topography transitions from the high peaks in the north to the broad, sweeping path of the Kingston Wash in the south. This 1984 provisional survey, compiled from late-1970s aerial photography, highlights the critical water sources of the Mojave, most notably Coyote Holes. These features were historically vital for travelers and livestock navigating the arid corridor between mountain ranges. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system, including t19n, t18n, and r9e, which governed the surveying of this remote terrain.
