2015 Map of Leach Lake

About this map

Leach Lake sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, serving as a central geographic marker within the Mojave Desert. The map reveals a transition from the dry basin floor to the rising elevations of the Granite Mountains in the southwest. This remote area is defined by its critical water sources, including Desert King Spring and Two Springs, which provide essential points of interest for those tracking historical travel or survival in the arid San Bernardino County interior. Settlement here is virtually non-existent, represented instead by the long traverse of Randsburg Rd cutting through the northern sections of the townships. This 2015 survey illustrates how the fundamental topography and sparse hydrology remain the defining characteristics of this section of the California desert.
