1988 Map of Water Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Water Valley occupies a stark desert basin in the Mojave, dominated by the expansive alkaline flats of Harper Lake to the west. This 1980s landscape is defined by its isolation and the sharp transition from the dry lakebed to the steep, volcanic contours of Black Mountain rising in the north. Human presence is sparse and concentrated around essential water and livestock infrastructure. Blacks Ranch serves as a primary reference point in the valley floor, accompanied by a nearby Corral. The map captures an era of specialized land use, where geological exploration is evidenced by a Drill Hole and a solitary Prospect in the eastern foothills. Numerous four-wheel-drive tracks crisscross the terrain, linking remote points in a region where topography dictates the flow of travel through the arid flats.
