2015 Map of Sheep Camp Spring

About this map

The Old Woman Mountains dominate this arid landscape within the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County. This section of the range is defined by complex topography where drainage patterns converge toward Browns Wash, a major ephemeral watercourse that winds through the central and southern portions of the sheet. The presence of Sheep Camp Spring in the northern reaches highlights a rare reliable water source in an otherwise parched environment, a feature traditionally critical for survival and transit in this part of California. Surveyed for the Public Land Survey System, the map details the boundaries of townships T5N, T4N, and T3N, illustrating how the rugged mountain terrain intersects with the bureaucratic grid of the desert floor.
