The Mojave National Preserve protects this arid upland landscape where the high desert meets the southern reaches of the New York Mountains. Centered on the Mid Hills and Round Valley, the map details a topography defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources. Seasonal watercourses like Kelso Wash and Cedar Wash intersect with deep topographical cuts such as Butcher Knife Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. The distribution of vital desert resources is marked by several named watering points, including Burro Spring, Cabin Spring, and Live Oak Spring. These features, along with Pinto Mtn, highlight the reliance on specific geographic landmarks for navigation and survival in the high Mojave Desert.
