1982 Map of Newberry Springs

About this map

Newberry Springs serves as the focal point for this high-desert survey, situated at the base of the dramatic Newberry Mountains. The map illustrates the region's transition from the flat Mojave Valley in the north to the complex geologic structures of the south, including extensive Lava flows and the Rodman Mountains. Local industry and infrastructure are well-documented, with an Underground Gas Pipeline traversing the valley floor alongside a Quarry and Gravel Pit. Of particular interest to desert historians is the location of Newberry Spring (Dry) and the Newberry Cairn, which stands as a prominent landmark on Newberry Peak. The landscape is further defined by seasonal drainage patterns like Kane Wash, highlighting the arid character of this San Bernardino County locale in the early 1980s.
