About this map

The Ord Mtn peak and the surrounding Ord Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the Mojave Desert. This terrain is defined by its vital water sources, with several named springs clustered around the mountain slopes, including Aztec Spring, Sweetwater Spring, and Willow Spring. These points would have been critical landmarks for travelers and early inhabitants traversing the arid reaches of the Tyler Valley.

The survey also identifies the Newberry Mountains to the north and the Rodman Mountains to the east, illustrating a rugged corridors of peaks. Modern access is primarily represented by Ord Mountain Rd, while Kane Wash provides a natural drainage route through the northern canyons. The map serves as a record of the intricate topographical relief between the high peaks and the valley floors in this part of San Bernardino County.
