2015 Map of Signal Hill

About this map

Mojave National Preserve encompasses most of this landscape, where the high desert meets the prominent ridges of the Piute Range. This 2015 survey details a transition between elevated peaks like Billie Mtn and the sweeping reaches of Lanfair Valley. The map highlights historical transportation routes that cross the Mojave Desert, most notably the Old Government Rd in the north and Fort Piute Rd further south, tracing paths used for decades across the arid interior. These routes connect localized topographic features such as the Vontrigger Hills and Tungsten Flat, which suggests a history of prospecting and desert transit. The namesake Signal Hill stands in the southeast, serving as a distinct landmark in a region defined by its isolation and specialized desert roads like Lanfair Rd.
