2015 Map of Mesquite Mountains

About this map

The Mesquite Mountains rise above the high desert floor in this arid corner of San Bernardino County, where the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert transition into the Mesquite Valley. This survey captures a landscape defined by its vital passage points, most notably Winters Pass and Mesquite Pass, which have historically provided transit through the rugged mountain range. The transport network is sparse but significant, featuring isolated desert tracks such as Kingston Rd and Excelsior Mine Rd. These routes hint at the region's mining and ranching history, linking remote topography to larger desert thoroughfares like Tecopa Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range grid, illustrating the systematic division of this unpopulated terrain.
