Mohawk Spring and Coffin Spring provide critical water sources in this arid stretch of the Mojave Desert within San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, ranging from the low-lying Chemehuevi Valley in the northeast to the elevated landmark of Mexican Hat. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic map reveals a territory largely shaped by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t4n r20e and t5n r21e segmenting the open terrain. The mapping detail shows how drainage patterns and elevation changes dictate the sparse placement of these vital springs, which have historically served as essential waypoints for desert travel and survival.
