2015 Map of Painted Rock Wash
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Painted Rock Spring marks a vital water point in this arid stretch of the eastern Mojave Desert within San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by the rugged elevations of the Little Piute Mountains and the prominent Pilot Peak, which overlook a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems including Big Wash, Colton Wash, and Sunflower Wash. These desert washes represent the primary hydrological features of the region, converging toward the low-lying Ward Valley in the east. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the enduring topography of a region where water sources like Granite Tank and the namesake Painted Rock Wash have historically dictated movement and survival in the high desert.
