2015 Map of Sleeping Beauty

About this map

The Mojave Desert landscape is defined by the stark transition from alluvial fans to the prominent peaks of the Cady Mountains. This 2015 survey identifies Cady Peak as a primary landmark in the north, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Sleeping Beauty, a feature that gives the area its name. The mapping detail reveals the complex network of dry washes extending eastward from the mountain range into the surrounding basin. Modern infrastructure is represented by the path of Interstate 40 and the railroad near Pisgah in the southwest corner, showing how transportation corridors navigate this arid environment. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries for Township 9 North, Range 6 East and adjacent ranges, which is essential for locating specific land parcels in this section of San Bernardino County.
