2018 Map of Valley Wells

About this map

Valley Wells Station stands as a primary landmark in this high desert landscape, positioned along the major corridor crossing the southern portion of the map. Much of the surrounding territory is protected within the Mojave National Preserve, showcasing a terrain of ephemeral drainage and significant geological features. The Kingston Wash cuts through the desert floor, reflecting the watershed patterns of the Mojave Desert as it drains towards the northeast. Historic infrastructure is traced through local routes like Excelsior Mine Rd and Shadow Mtn Rd, which provide access to the foothills of the Clark Mountain Range. The map illustrates the sparse but critical settlement nodes and the vast expanses of Shadow Valley, capturing the character of this part of San Bernardino County as it remained in the early twenty-first century.
