About this map

The Chuckwalla Valley floor and surrounding desert peaks define this mid-century landscape in Riverside County. Long-standing mining interests are visible in the southwest, specifically at the Aztec Mines within the Chuckwalla Mountains, while a solitary Prospect sits further north near the Palen Mountains. The arid geography is marked by expansive Sand Dunes and significant ephemeral water features, including Palen Dry Lake and Ford Dry Lake, which served as critical landmarks for travelers in this arid region.
