2017 Map of Little Creek Mountain

About this map

Apple Valley sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the plateau surface drops off toward the winding drainages of the Washington Co desert. The terrain is dominated by the prominent mass of Little Creek Mountain, an area defined by its network of modern recreational trails like the Magic Carpet and the W Loop. These trails navigate the rugged edge of the Uinkaret Plateau, reflecting the area's transition from a remote ranching and grazing territory into a destination for mountain biking and outdoor exploration. Water is a scarce and vital resource in this environment, marked by the locations of Gould Spring and seasonal watercourses such as Little Cr and Short Cr. In the central portion of the map, Abs Clearing stands as a rare break in the topography, while the eastern reaches are marked by the rising Gray Knoll near the residential development along N Apple Valley Dr.
