2015 Map of Kramer Hills

About this map

Kramer Hills dominates the central and southern portions of this landscape, rising within the vast Mojave Desert. The map captures a high-desert environment defined by significant elevation changes and ephemeral drainage patterns across the arid terrain. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the location of Jimgrey along the major transportation corridor of Highway 58, which cuts diagonally across the northern half of the quadrangle. This area in San Bernardino County reflects a modern snapshot of the desert's infrastructure, where the public land survey system grids out the open space into townships such as t10n r6w and t11n r5w. Researchers can trace the alignment of the highway against the natural topography of the hills, illustrating how modern travel routes navigate the physical constraints of the California desert.
