2021 Map of Valjean Hills

About this map

Rabbit Holes Spring serves as a critical water source in the high-elevation basin between two distinct desert ranges. To the northwest, the Dumont Hills rise above the arid flats, while the Valjean Hills occupy the southwestern portion of the map. This terrain is part of the broader Mojave Desert, characterized by complex topography and dry drainages like the Kingston Wash, which cuts across the southern edge of the sheet. The landscape is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t19n r9e and t18n r8e defining the administrative boundaries of these remote San Bernardino County lands. The lack of established roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this corner of the desert, where seasonal hydrological features and prominent ridges dictate the movement through the environment.
