About this map

San Bernardino National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the high elevations of the San Bernardino Mountains drop toward the high desert. The 2015 topography reveals a complex hydrological network centered on Silverwood Lake and the Mojave River Forks Reservoir, which manage the flow of the West Fork Mojave River and its numerous tributaries like Houston Cr and Seeley Cr. This modern era survey shows the area's development as a recreational and residential corridor, connecting the mountain community of Cedarpines Park to the desert flatlands near Hesperia.

Transit through this high-altitude terrain is defined by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds past landmarks such as Jamajab Point and Cleghorn Ridge. To the north, the California Aqueduct cuts across the basin, supporting the growth of settlements like Lugo and the infrastructure near the Hesperia Airport. Significant natural features such as the Pillars of God and Seeley Flat offer unique points of interest for those studying the geological and cultural markers of the region.
