1983 Map of Valjean Hills

About this map

Rabbit Holes Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid corridor of the Mojave Desert, situated between the Dumont Hills and the Kingston Range. This 1983 provisional edition, compiled from aerial photography taken in the late 1970s, documents a landscape defined by extreme relief and complex drainage patterns. The Valjean Hills occupy the central portion of the quadrangle, where the terrain falls away toward the seasonal drainage of Kingston Wash in the southeast. For those studying the historical geography of San Bernardino County, the map provides precise topographic data for this high-desert environment, showing the relationship between isolated springs and the township and range lines of T 19 N and T 18 N that partitioned this public land.
