About this map

Klinker Mtn and the Summit Range define the high ground of this western section of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. The landscape is characterized by complex volcanic geology, most notably the Lava Mountains and the prominent Dome Mtn in the eastern reaches. Early transportation routes like Trona Rd and Searles Station Rd cut across the arid terrain, providing essential links between remote desert outposts and mining districts.

Hydrological features are rare in this environment, but the presence of Bedrock Spring indicates a critical water source for the region's early travelers and prospectors. To the south, the foothills of Red Mtn begin to rise, marking the transition toward different mineral-rich zones. Minor desert tracks such as Savoy Rd and Steam Well Rd offer researchers a look at the secondary network of access roads that served the various peaks and basins throughout the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
