1971 Map of Vidal NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Turtle Mountains rise sharply in the northwest corner of this desert landscape, anchored by the high point of Negro Peak. The terrain falls away into the broad expanse of the Vidal Valley, a region defined in the early 1970s by massive infrastructure projects and sparse transportation routes. The most prominent human-made feature is the Colorado River Aqueduct, which cuts a diagonal line across the valley floor, carrying water through the arid environment. Along the southern edge, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad parallels the Vidal Wash, marking a vital transit corridor. Numerous benchmarks and a network of Jeep Trails suggest a landscape used for surveying and resource exploration, while 95 provides the primary north-south road access through this corner of San Bernardino County.
