2015 Map of Sunshine Peak

About this map

Sunshine Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-desert landscape of the eastern Mojave Desert. The topography is dominated by the volcanic and tectonic geological history of San Bernardino County, notably featuring the Pisgah Crater in the northern reaches. This 2015 survey illustrates a terrain defined by dramatic elevation shifts across the Lava Bed Mountains, where contour lines trace the complex ridges and basins of the California interior. The map documents the vast, open character of the region, focusing on the natural landforms and surveying lines of the Public Land Survey System rather than human settlement. The intersection of Township and Range boundaries, such as t7n r5e and t7n r6e, provide the primary structural framework for navigating this unpopulated expanse of the American Southwest.
