2018 Map of Quail Spring

About this map

The Owlshead Mountains and Quail Mountains dominate this arid landscape where the northern boundary of NTC and Fort Irwin meets the southern reaches of Death Valley National Park. This transition zone within the Mojave Desert reveals a terrain defined by desert hydrology, including the eponymous Quail Spring in the southwest and the ephemeral Lost Lake near the northern border. The map provides a precise layout of township and range lines, such as t19n r1e and t18n r2e, which structure this largely undeveloped federal land. These boundaries illustrate the complex jurisdictional intersection between military training grounds and protected wilderness areas in San Bernardino County during the early twenty-first century.
