1985 Map of Little Piute Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Piute Mountains and the Little Piute Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in eastern San Bernardino County. Surveyed in the early 1980s, the map reveals a rugged terrain defined by sharp topographic relief and the expansive reach of the Ward Valley to the east. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by industrial and utility infrastructure that cuts across the arid basins. A prominent Pipeline and a Trans Line Steel Tower corridor indicate the importance of this region as a transit point for resources and energy. Scattered throughout the northwestern ridges, several Prospects suggest historical interest in the area's mineral potential, while isolated water sources like the Guzzler serve as critical points for local wildlife in an otherwise punishing environment. The network of 4wd tracks provides the only access into the high-elevation terrain, highlighting the remote character of the Mojave landscape during this era.
