1982 Map of Ord Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Ord Mountain Mountain dominates this arid landscape, a region defined by scattered mineral prospects and vital water sources in the high desert. Historically, the area served as a focal point for mining activity and cattle grazing, with remote outposts such as Hadden Well and Wills Well providing necessary water in an otherwise parched environment. The presence of the Maurmee Mine and several unnamed mines and prospects scattered across the slopes suggests a period of intense exploratory interest. Essential desert springs, including Aztec Spring, Sweetwater Spring, and Willow Spring, mark the terrain where geological faulting and topographic shifts allow moisture to reach the surface. To the south, the flat expanse of Tyler Valley and the Ericksen Dry Lake contrast with the surrounding peaks of the Newberry Mountains and Rodman Mountains, reflecting the characteristic basin-and-range geography of the San Bernardino desert.
