2018 Map of Stepladder Mountains
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
The Stepladder Mountains rise from the eastern reaches of the Mojave Desert in this recent survey of San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of the Chemehuevi Valley, where the ephemeral drainage of Chemehuevi Wash cuts a distinct path through the arid basin. This map documents a largely undeveloped wilderness, preserving the natural topography and section lines within the ranges of t6n r20e and t5n r21e. It serves as a precise record of the desert floor and its surrounding peaks before further modern encroachment, capturing the stark geographic relationship between the mountainous terrain and the sprawling valley below.
