About this map

Martinez Mountain dominates this desert landscape, where the high elevations of the San Bernardino National Forest transition into the arid expanse of the Coachella Valley. Much of the central terrain is designated as a State Game Refuge, highlighting the conservation priorities of the early 1980s. A network of seasonal drainages including Guadalupe Creek, Devil Canyon, and Agua Alta Canyon cut through the slopes, leading toward the vital water infrastructure of the Coachella Canal and its associated Aqueduct in the northeast. Human activity is largely represented by backcountry routes like the Cactus Spring Trail and scattered water sources such as Martinez Spring and Tanquitz Spring. These springs and the high plateau of Pinyon Alta Flat provide critical points of interest for those tracking the remote geographic landmarks of the Santa Rosa Range before modern development encroached on the valley floor.
