1985 Map of Sheep Camp Spring

About this map

The Old Woman Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape in San Bernardino County, where the topography transitions into the broad expanse of Ward Valley. This arid environment is defined by its drainage patterns and isolated water sources, most notably at Sheep Camp Spring. The presence of the Black Metal Mine and several other identified sites labeled as Prospect or Prospects points to a history of mineral exploration in the mid-20th century. Arroyos like Browns Wash indicate the seasonal flow of water through the desert floor, while the survey grid lines for townships and ranges, such as R 16 E and T 5 N, provide the formal structure for this remote California interior.
