2021 Map of Superior Valley

About this map

Superior Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in the Mojave Desert, characterized by broad alluvial plains and dry lake beds. The southern reach of the quadrangle is anchored by Superior Lake, a prominent seasonal feature that collects runoff from the surrounding uplands. Historically, transportation through this arid corridor relied on routes like Old Copper City Rd and Copper City Rd, which hint at the region's mining legacy and the movement of ore across the basin floor. Human activity remains sparse, centered on isolated holdings such as the Plural Ink Ranch. Water sources are rare but vital, represented by Indian Spring tucked into the northern hills, where Indian Springs Rd provides access. This survey details the modern layout of these remote desert roads and the exact boundaries of public land survey sections across the vast valley floor.
