2018 Map of Red Mountain

About this map

Red Mountain and the high desert landscape of San Bernardino County are defined by a network of mining-era roads and rugged peaks in this modern survey. The settlement of Atolia sits in the shadows of Red Mtn, an area historically tied to the tungsten and gold mining booms of the early 20th century. This 2018 data illustrates how the ancient travel routes of the Mojave Desert remain etched into the topography, with Randsburg Cutoff and Hoffman Rd navigating the varied elevations. To the north, Squaw Spring provides a rare water reference point in an otherwise arid stretch of public lands and townships. The map serves as a contemporary record of how human habitation and industrial infrastructure persist within the high-elevation terrain of the northwestern Mojave.
