2012 Map of Savahia Peak NW

About this map

Chemehuevi Wash dominates this landscape in the eastern California desert, tracing a complex network of seasonal drainage patterns through San Bernardino County. In this arid region, the topography is defined by the subtle descent of numerous dry channels toward the larger Gary Wash in the south. Human presence is limited to the single passage of Turtle Mountain Rd clipping the northwest corner, a route reflecting the sparse infrastructure required for this remote stretch of the Mojave. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an intricate look at the natural drainage and landforms of the Savahia Peak area before more recent environmental or development changes.
