About this map

Old Woman Statue stands as a landmark within this arid reach of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by its dependency on scattered water sources, marked by numerous named springs such as Sunflower Spring, Honeymoon Spring, and Old Ranch Spring. These natural features, along with Dripping Spring and Bert Spring, provide critical points of reference in a terrain dominated by significant peaks and deep drainage cuts.

Elevations rise toward Carbonate Peak and Mercury Mtn, while the desert floor is carved by a complex network of washes including Colton Wash, Paramount Wash, and Sunflower Wash. The presence of Carbonate Gulch and Scanlon Gulch suggests the geological character of the region, while the minimal road network, including Sunflower Springs Rd and N Piute Rd, highlights the isolation of this corner of the California desert during the early twenty-first century.
