2021 Map of Valley Wells

About this map

The high desert landscape of San Bernardino County is preserved here within the Mojave National Preserve, a territory defined by broad alluvial basins and stark mountain rises. Shadow Valley dominates the central portion of the map, serving as a catchment for seasonal drainage such as Kingston Wash. The map documents a critical transportation corridor where modern infrastructure meets the remnants of older desert tracks. Valley Wells Station sits as a primary point of reference along the main transit artery, while secondary routes like Excelsior Mine Rd and Shadow Mtn Rd lead toward the surrounding heights. To the northeast, the terrain climbs sharply into the Clark Mountain Range, illustrating the typical basin-and-range topography that characterizes this portion of the Mojave Desert.
