About this map

The Mojave National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, where the topography is defined by the Clark Mountain Range and the Ivanpah Mountains. At the base of these peaks, Wheaton Springs serves as a notable focal point, situated near its namesake Wheaton Spring and the drainage of Wheaton Wash. The eastern edge of the quadrangle transitions into the flat, alkaline expanse of Ivanpah Lake, a stark contrast to the surrounding summits.

Transportation through this arid terrain relies on a network of local roads and trails, including Ivanpah Rd and the specifically named Zinc Mine Rd, which hints at the region's mineral interests. Significant landmarks such as Kokoweef Peak and Kessler Peak dominate the skyline, while Mineral Spring and deep cuts like Kokoweef Canyon provide geographical markers for those navigating the transition between the mountain slopes and the broad reaches of the Mojave Desert.
