2015 Map of Pilot Mountain

About this map

Pilot Mtn and Sharp Peak anchor this desert landscape within the Colorado Desert of Riverside County. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by high summits and deep drainage channels, where seasonal water follows paths like Corn Springs Wash and Ship Cr. The map preserves the network of backcountry routes, specifically Corn Springs Rd in the north and Dupont Rd winding through the southern reaches. These roads provide the primary access through the townships, which are largely characterized by the significant elevation changes between the peaks and the surrounding basins. A prominent landmark in the central portion of the sheet, Black Butte stands as a distinct topographical feature amidst the intricate contour lines of this arid region.
