2012 Map of Little Piute Mountains

About this map

Piute Mountains and the Little Piute Mountains define the arid topography of this section of San Bernardino County. The landscape is characterized by its significant elevation changes and the desert drainage patterns that flow from these ranges. A primary modern thoroughfare through this remote terrain is the E Mojave Heritage Trl, which follows a path between the northern and southern mountain blocks. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a detailed record of the desert topography and the few established routes that traverse this portion of the Mojave, capturing the area before any further infrastructure development in the early 21st century.
