2015 Map of Lead Mountain NE

About this map

Bullion Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, rising sharply from the floor of the Mojave Desert. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a transition from the stark topography of the mountains to the expansive basins of the desert. The presence of America Mine Rd in the eastern section suggests a history of mineral extraction within these ranges, while Bristol Dry Lake Rd skirts the northern edges of the hills. The map is primarily characterized by its elevation data and township boundaries, reflecting the remote and arid nature of San Bernardino County's interior, where infrastructure is limited to specialized routes serving mining interests or crossing the desert floor.
