2015 Map of Stepladder Mountains
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Stepladder Mountains rise from the arid floor of the Mojave Desert in this detailed eastern California survey. The map depicts a stark, arid landscape dominated by the broad Chemehuevi Valley and the dendritic drainage patterns of Chemehuevi Wash as it flows toward the eastern margin of the quadrangle. As a modern digital-era survey, this sheet provides a clear view of the topographic contours and Public Land Survey System (PLSS) townships, including t6n r20e and t5n r21e. The lack of human settlements or named structures underscores the environmental character of this section of San Bernardino County, where terrain and drainage are the primary features of interest for those studying desert geography or planning modern expeditions through the region.
