About this map

Joshua Tree National Park dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the rugged Pinto Mountains meet the high desert floor. The map highlights the transition between the arid terrain of the Mojave Desert and the protected wilderness of the park, marked by geological features such as Twentynine Palms Mtn and the ephemeral drainage of Dog Wash.

In the western reaches, Gold Park sits at the edge of the mountains, while the northern section transitions into the rural outskirts of the community, anchored by the Twentynine Palms Airport. The boundary between San Bernardino and Riverside counties bisects the map, running straight through the remote Music Valley. This survey provides a precise view of the interface between wilderness preservation and desert habitation in the mid-2010s.
