2021 Map of Mohawk Spring

About this map

Mohawk Spring serves as a critical focal point in this arid stretch of the Mojave Desert within San Bernardino County. The landscape is characterized by sparse water sources and dramatic terrain, featuring the distinctive Mexican Hat formation. Movement through this region is largely defined by Turtle Mountain Rd, which traverses the northern reaches and leads toward the Chemehuevi Valley. The presence of isolated water points like Coffin Spring and the drainage of Browns Wash illustrates the hydrological reality of life and travel in this high-desert environment. This 2021 survey provides a modern topographical accounting of these enduring natural landmarks, showing the relationship between seasonal washes and the permanent springs that have long dictated the geography of the eastern Mojave.
