2021 Map of Nelson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Nelson Lake and McLean Lake mark the arid basins of this high-desert landscape in the Mojave Desert. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial fans and isolated playas, where historical passage is recorded by Pioneer Cut carving through the western hills. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the Public Land Survey System grid across T16N R2E and T15N R1E, reflecting the organized division of this open terrain. The lack of permanent structures or developed roads emphasizes the remote character of this region of San Bernardino County, where seasonal water catchment and old desert routes remain the primary landmarks for modern geographers and desert explorers.
