The Mojave National Preserve landscape is defined by the arid transition between massive dune systems and high desert ranges. In this 2021 survey of San Bernardino County, the Mojave River Wash and Kelso Wash dominate the central drainage patterns, carving through the sprawling Devils Playground. These ephemeral watercourses are critical markers for understanding the historical movement of people and livestock through this challenging environment, where reliable water was scarce and travel depended on following established washes.
