Avawatz Mountains dominate the landscape of this 1986 Mojave Desert survey, showing the sharp transition from high peaks down toward the basin floor. The southwestern portion of the sheet is largely defined by the Fort Irwin Military Reservation, which meets an Indefinite Boundary running through the heart of the range. Mining activity is evident throughout the mountain slopes, with several notable sites including an Open Pit Mine, Mine Dumps, and an Open Mine. These features, along with numerous isolated Prospects, reveal a history of extraction in this arid environment. A lone Spring provides a rare water source indicator amidst the complex topography of the desert canyons and ridges.
