2012 Map of Seventeenmile Point

About this map

Seventeenmile Point stands as a prominent landmark in this desert expanse of San Bernardino County, where the topography is defined by the massive rise of Cowhole Mountain to the southwest. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by isolated mining access and long-distance desert corridors. Several unpaved routes, including Brannigan Mine Rd and Paymaster Mine Rd, intersect near the central heights, suggesting a history of mineral exploration in the surrounding slopes. Seasonal drainage patterns are marked by the intermittent paths of Willow Wash and Indian Cr, which cut through the arid terrain. Modern infrastructure is represented by the north-south transit of Kelso Rd and the presence of Tank Nine, a critical water resource in this dry environment. The convergence of Hidden Valley Rd with the mining tracks highlights the network of primitive roads used to navigate the high desert floor.
