2015 Map of Slocum Mountain

About this map

Copper City lies within the high desert landscape of San Bernardino County, a region defined by its isolated mountain peaks and expansive basins. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the elevation and terrain of the Mojave Desert floor as it rises toward Slocum Mtn and Granite Mtn. The map provides a clear look at the geological formations and dry lake beds that characterize the area, including the western edge of Grass Valley. This modern digital-era topographic map is essential for understanding the remote infrastructure of the California desert, showing the positioning of Creosote Rd and the intricate network of section lines established by the Bureau of Land Management. The map captures the stark physical environment of a region shaped by sparse precipitation and extreme elevation changes.
