2015 Map of Superior Valley

About this map

Superior Valley and the surrounding reaches of the Mojave Desert characterize this 2015 survey of a remote San Bernardino County landscape. The map provides a detailed look at the infrastructure required for high-desert ranching and travel, notably identifying the Plural Ink Rnch in the southwestern quadrant. While much of the terrain is defined by dry basins and shifting contours, the presence of Indian Spring and the ephemeral Superior Lake at the southern edge highlights the critical role of intermittent water sources in this arid environment. Historical transportation routes are documented through the inclusion of Old Copper City Rd and Indian Springs Rd, which cut across the valley floor to connect isolated homesteads and springs.
