2015 Map of Martins Well

About this map

Martins Well serves as a vital water source in this arid corner of the Mojave Desert within San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topography, where steep, rocky ridges transition into broad alluvial fans and washes that drain the surrounding terrain. This 2015 survey illustrates the isolation of the region, emphasizing the importance of specific water points like the well for travelers and local land management. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including sections within t3n r19e and t2n r20e, provides the primary structure for navigating this desert expanse. It remains a stark example of the high desert environment, where elevation changes and sparse water features dictate the movement and survival of those crossing the basin.
