2021 Map of Needles SW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Sacramento Mountains dominate the western half of this landscape, rising sharply from the floor of the Mojave Desert in eastern San Bernardino County. This 2021 survey details the rugged topography where the peaks descend into Shadow Canyon, creating a complex network of drainage towards the Colorado River valley. On the eastern edge, the settlement of Needles serves as a critical transportation hub, where modern infrastructure meets historical pathways. The map traces the path of Hst Rte 66 as it cuts through the desert north of the city, while Needles Airport and Monumental Pass Rd anchor the southern transition toward the Arizona border. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range lines where the California-Arizona state boundary follows the river's path just beyond the eastern margin.
