2012 Map of Quail Spring

About this map

Lost Lake sits in the northern desert landscape of San Bernardino County, a significant landmark in an area defined by its arid geography. This 2012 survey from the U.S. Geological Survey details the hydrological features of the Mojave, highlighting the vital presence of Quail Spring in the southwestern corner. The intricate drainage patterns shown on the map illustrate the complex network of ephemeral washes that shape this terrain during seasonal rains. As part of the National Geospatial Program, this document records the state of these natural water sources at the beginning of the decade, providing a clear picture of the land's topographical character without the influence of major road networks or human settlements.
