About this map

The Mojave Desert landscape of San Bernardino County dominates this 2018 survey, centered on the historic railroad stop of Siberia. Located in the southern portion of the map, this small settlement serves as a waypoint in a high-desert environment defined by the Bristol Mountains to the north and the volcanic formations of the Lava Hills to the southeast. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage channels, most notably the Siberia Wash, which carries seasonal runoff through the arid basin.

Modern transportation corridors cut across the northern section, bypassing the older settlement patterns that originally developed around water and rail. Between the elevated ground of Black Ridge and the southern peaks, the map reveals a stark contrast between the traditional desert outpost and the massive, open land divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including T8N R10E and T7N R10E. The cartography provides a clear look at how topography and limited water sources have dictated human presence in this part of California.
