2018 Map of Louisiana Butte

About this map

Louisiana Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape where the Argus Range and Coso Range meet. The terrain is defined by deep incisions and dry drainage systems, most notably Petroglyph Canyon and Renegade Canyon, which hint at the prehistoric and cultural significance of the northern Mojave Desert. Water is a scarce but critical element of the geography, represented by the seasonal paths of Darwin Wash and Junction Wash, as well as the secluded Tennessee Spring tucked into the high ridges.
