1954 Map of Turtle Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Turtle Mountains dominate this 1954 survey of the California desert, flanked by the broad reaches of Ward Valley to the west and Chemehuevi Valley to the northeast. Water sources were the vital hubs of movement in this arid landscape, documented here by the presence of Mohawk Spring, Carsons Wells, Coffin Spring, and Martins Well. These features, along with Johnsons Well and Mopah Spring, indicate the historical reliance on isolated water points for transit through the high desert.
