2021 Map of Sunshine Peak

About this map

Pisgah Crater stands as a prominent volcanic landmark in the northeastern corner of this high-desert landscape. The terrain is defined by the volcanic and tectonic history of the Lava Bed Mountains, which dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. As part of the broader Mojave Desert, the area displays a network of unimproved roads and desert tracks that cut across the arid basins between the mountain ranges. The map centers on Sunshine Peak, a high point within the southern massif. This 2021 topographic record reveals the stark topography of the region, emphasizing the drainage patterns and relief of the basaltic formations and cinder cones that characterize this portion of San Bernardino County.
