2012 Map of Valley Wells

About this map

Valley Wells and the nearby Valley Wells Station anchor this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, where the infrastructure of the Mojave is shaped by historical extraction and water management. The terrain is dominated by the sprawling drainage of the Kingston Wash, which cuts across the central flats. Evidence of the region’s industrial past remains visible through the Evening Star Mine Mill, while the essential necessity of desert survival is represented by the Windmill and Rock Tank. A network of thoroughfares including Kingston Rd, Cima Rd, and Forest Mine Rd provides the primary access through this arid environment, illustrating how modern transit routes often follow the same paths carved by early miners and ranchers seeking water and minerals.
