2015 Map of Queen Mountain

About this map

Joshua Tree National Park dominates this desert landscape, where the high peaks of the Mojave Desert meet the residential edge of Twentynine Palms. The map details a transition from suburban street grids, such as Wilshire Ave and Sunrise Dr, into the protected wilderness of the national park. Geographic landmarks like Queen Mountain and Joshua Mountain rise above the basin, while localized water sources like Pine Spring and the Fortynine Palms Oasis provide rare ecological relief in the arid terrain. The mapping of the Desert Queen Mine Rd and Pinto Wye highlights the intersection of early mining infrastructure with modern park access. Travelers and researchers can trace the boundary between San Bernardino and Riverside counties as it cuts through the center of the park, passing near Negro Hill and the Sheep Pass area.
