1996 Map of Quail Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

The Owlhead Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Mojave Desert region, meeting the Quail Mountains to the south. This terrain is defined by its arid hydrology, featuring the eponymous Quail Spring and ephemeral basins such as Lost Lake and Dry Lake. The map reveals a history of mineral exploration through several labeled Prospects and a singular Prospect located in the southwestern canyons. These markings indicate the search for resources in a difficult environment where water sources like the spring were vital for survival. The southern edge of the survey is defined by the Fort Irwin Military Reservation Boundary, illustrating the intersection of natural desert topography and 20th-century federal land management in San Bernardino County.
