2015 Map of Spangler Hills East

About this map

Spangler sits within a wide desert basin, serving as a focal point for a network of backcountry routes that defined this section of the Mojave Desert in the early 21st century. The landscape is dominated by the Spangler Hills to the northwest and the low-lying expanse of the Searles Valley to the east. This survey captures the drainage patterns of Teagle Wash, which cuts across the central flats toward the valley floor. Transportation in this arid environment relies on established tracks like Randsburg Wash Rd and Pinnacle Rd, reflecting a period of land management where these corridors provided the primary access for mineral exploration and recreation. The mapping of township and range lines across the open terrain illustrates the structured division of public lands in San Bernardino County, where topographical relief is often the only break in the grid.
