2021 Map of Placer Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Joshua Tree National Park spans the central portion of this landscape, marking a transition from the level floor of the Pinto Basin to the sharp elevation of the Eagle Mountains. This desert environment is defined by the drainage patterns of Pinto Wash and the complex topography of Placer Canyon. The terrain reflects a classic Mojave Desert profile, where dry alluvial plains give way to steep, rocky corridors.
