About this map

Layton Spring serves as a central point of interest in this arid San Bernardino County landscape, where water sources dictate the movement of travelers and wildlife. The 2012 topography illustrates a network of drainage systems cutting through high-desert terrain, notably including Tank Canyon and Sand Canyon to the north. These deep ravines converge and diverge around significant elevation changes, such as Layton Pass, which provides a natural transit point between the canyons.

Water security in this environment is represented by a cluster of named seeps in the southeast, where Amity Spring, Lone Willow Spring, and Early Spring are situated along the lower contours. The relationship between these vital water points and the surrounding landforms like New York Canyon and Layton Canyon reveals a traditional western landscape defined by its scarcity of resources and its geological complexity.
