2018 Map of Little Piute Mountains

About this map

Mojave Desert terrain dominates this 2018 survey of eastern San Bernardino County, where the stark topography of the Piute Mountains and the Little Piute Mountains rises above the basin floor. This modern topographic record captures a landscape primarily defined by its drainage patterns and elevation changes rather than human settlement. The most significant historical and recreational corridor present is the E Mojave Heritage Trl, which winds through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. As the land slopes toward the east into Ward Valley, the map illustrates the remote character of this desert region, preserved as public land managed by federal agencies. The survey provides precise details on the land-management grid, including boundaries for t8n r18e and t7n r19e, which are essential for locating specific mining claims or grazing allotments in this arid environment.
