About this map

The Old Woman Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, rising sharply above the surrounding Mojave Desert. This terrain is defined by its arid drainage patterns and sparse water sources, most notably Sheep Camp Spring, which historically served as a critical waypoint in this dry environment. The topography shows the complex ridges and canyons that characterize this range, where elevation changes are reflected in the dense contour lines of the central peaks.

Transportation through this area is largely limited to the Old Woman Meteorite Rd, a route that highlights the region's unique geological interest. The ephemeral Browns Wash cuts through the southwestern portion of the sheet, illustrating the path of seasonal runoff from the mountains. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the township and range system across this part of California, recording the undeveloped character of the land.
