2018 Map of Old Dad Mountain

About this map

Mojave National Preserve encompasses most of this arid landscape, dominated by the stark peaks of Old Dad Mtn and the western reaches of the Kelso Mountains. The terrain transitions from the high, craggy slopes of the mountains down through Jackass Canyon toward the southern expanse of the Devils Playground. This area of the Mojave Desert illustrates the isolation of the high desert, where public lands managed by the National Park Service preserve the natural contours of the basin and range. Significant elevation changes are mapped in detail, showing the drainage patterns and desert washes that define the movement of water through this protected wilderness in San Bernardino County.
