2021 Map of Little Maria Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Little Maria Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Riverside County, where steep terrain meets the broad alluvial expanse of Rice Valley. This modern topographic study reveals a desert environment shaped by seasonal water movement, as seen in the prominent Sand Draw and the isolated Tank Spring. Transportation through this remote section of the Colorado Desert is defined by long-established routes, including the paved Midland Rd in the northeast and the more primitive Palen Pass Rd and Palen Pass Trl to the southwest. The presence of these trails suggests a legacy of cross-desert passage through the mountain gaps, connecting the valley floors in an area otherwise marked by its topographic isolation.
