2021 Map of Red Pass Lake

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain dominates this survey of the northern Soda Mountains region, providing a high-resolution look at the complex topography of the California high desert. This corner of San Bernardino County is characterized by significant vertical relief, where steep ridges give way to expansive desert basins. Human passage through this landscape is defined by remote thoroughfares like Red Pass Lake Rd, which traverses the western portion of the quadrangle, and E Range Rd in the north. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns and contour intervals that define the character of this arid environment. By tracing the public land survey system grid, researchers can locate specific sections across the T14N R6E and T15N R6E townships, reflecting the foundational mapping of the American West.
