2012 Map of Savahia Peak

About this map

Savahia Peak and Pyramid Butte dominate this arid landscape in San Bernardino County, where the desert floor is etched by an intricate network of ephemeral drainage channels. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey highlights a region largely devoid of permanent settlements, emphasizing the stark topography of the Mojave. The only significant human engineering shown is the rugged track of Independence Mine Rd, which snakes through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. This single road serves as a primary access point for the area's mineral prospects and high desert terrain, illustrating the sparse infrastructure common in this part of California.
