About this map

Chemehuevi Valley dominates this 1971 landscape, showing the arid expanse of San Bernardino County as it appeared in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including the prominent Chemehuevi Wash which cuts centrally through the valley, joined by Gary Wash and West Wash to the south.

Infrastructure is sparse, reflecting the remote character of the California desert during this era. Transportation is limited to the Havasu Lake Road and a network of Jeep Trails, which were the primary means of navigating these alluvial plains. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system at the junction of T. 5 N., T. 4 N., and T. 3 N., capturing the natural topography before any significant modern development altered these drainage patterns.
