2012 Map of Mohawk Spring

About this map

Mohawk Spring sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, a critical water source in an arid expanse defined by complex drainage patterns and scattered landmarks. The area's human footprint is sparse, represented primarily by the site at Browns Camp and the winding path of Turtle Mountain Rd as it traverses the northern portion of the terrain. To the south of the spring, the land rises toward the distinctively named Mexican Hat formation. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the hydrological network and elevation contours that have dictated movement and seasonal occupation in this part of the California desert for generations.
