2015 Map of Turtle Valley

About this map

Brisbane Valley and Turtle Valley characterize this arid landscape in the High Desert north of Apple Valley. The terrain is defined by dry drainage systems such as Wild Wash and Bell Mountain Wash, which carve through the Mojave Desert floor between prominent peaks. Significant elevations include Turtle Mtn and Stoddard Mtn, providing landmarks for the rural road network that begins to intensify near the southern boundary. Residential development in the Sidewinder Valley and around Bell Mountain is evidenced by a grid of named streets including Dachshund Ave and Weimar Ave. The presence of Stoddard Wells Rd and Leaping Lizard Ln highlights the transition from open desert to the northern reaches of local community growth.
