2018 Map of Superior Lake

About this map

Superior Lake and the surrounding Superior Valley define this arid landscape within the broader Mojave Desert. The map reveals a network of desert thoroughfares that suggest a history of resource extraction and transit, notably including Copper City Rd and Old Copper City Rd. These routes, along with Black Canyon Rd and Tinker Mountain Rd, navigate the complex topography of the region's basins and ranges. The presence of Williams Well Rd points toward the vital importance of water access in this environment. While no major towns are shown, the road names like Auburn Rd and Indian Springs Rd record the cultural footprint and named landmarks that local researchers and desert enthusiasts use to navigate this part of San Bernardino County.
