2018 Map of Martins Well

About this map

Mojave Desert terrain defines this arid portion of San Bernardino County, where the landscape is marked primarily by severe topographic relief and seasonal drainage patterns. This 2018 survey illustrates a sparsely developed corner of the desert, where the eponymous Martins Well serves as a critical named water feature in an otherwise dry expanse. The map detail highlights the complex system of ridgelines and desert washes that characterize this region, illustrating the difficult geography that has influenced travel and land use in the eastern California desert. For researchers, the map provides precise documentation of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t3n r19e and t3n r20e, which are essential for identifying historical land claims and modern property boundaries in this remote environment.
