2015 Map of Superior Lake

About this map

Superior Lake and the dry expanse of the Superior Valley dominate this corner of the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from flat playa basins to the rising topographic contours of unnamed peaks in the central and southern sections. Sparse desert tracks provide the only human imprint, reflecting a remote region where land management is dictated by Public Land Survey System boundaries such as t31s r45e and t32s r46e. These survey lines intersect at critical junctures like Copper City Rd and City Rd, which appear as straight-line corridors across the arid terrain. The map captures the specialized geography of the high desert, where water features are ephemeral and the road network serves as a primary reference for navigating the open basin and range province.
