1985 Map of Stepladder Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Stepladder Mountains dominate the western portion of this San Bernardino County survey, giving way to the broad expanse of the Chemehuevi Valley to the east. This arid landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the Chemehuevi Wash which meanders through the eastern flats. Human activity in the mid-1980s was largely limited to remote desert travel and early exploration, evidenced by a network of 4wd tracks and evidence of former prospecting. Traces of historical effort are visible at the site of Ruins and a labeled Prospect located near the mountain base, suggesting a history of mineral exploration in the shadow of the peaks. The map provides a detailed view of these remote features before modern technological changes shifted the way these desert environments are navigated.
