2012 Map of Sheep Creek Spring

About this map

Old Mormon Spring and Sheep Creek Spring stand as vital water markers in this arid stretch of San Bernardino County. The landscape is dominated by the northern reaches of the Avawatz Mountains, where the terrain drops sharply toward the drainage of Salt Cr. Navigation through this desert corridor is defined by Anvil Canyon and the winding path of Sheep Creek Spring Rd. This survey reflects a sparsely developed region where natural springs and rugged topography dictated the movement of early travelers and 21st-century geologists alike, preserving a sense of the primitive California desert before the expansion of more modern infrastructure.
