2014 Map of Malpais Mesa NE

About this map

Apron Crossing serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape where the Santa Maria River N Fork and Little Shipp Wash converge. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of Crosby Mtn in the northwest and the McCloud Mountains to the east, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the eastern Mojave Desert. This 2014 survey documents the primitive road network, including Sypes Rd and the Santa Maria River Rd, which trace the winding paths of seasonal washes like Quail Spring Wash. The map details the transition between various township and range boundaries, such as t13n r8w and t12n r7w, providing a clear view of how the land was partitioned amidst the steep terrain of Grayback Mtn.
