2021 Map of West Berdoo Canyon

About this map

Joshua Tree National Park occupies the northern reaches of this map, where the high desert terrain of the Little San Bernardino Mountains gives way to deep erosional features like Pushwalla Canyon and Berdoo Canyon. The landscape is a study in water management and desert infrastructure, dominated by the path of the Colorado River Aqueduct as it traverses the hills. To the south, the transition into the Coachella Valley is marked by the developed edges of Indio, where the Coachella Canal provides essential irrigation. This modern survey illustrates the sharp contrast between the protected wilderness areas and the expanding residential and agricultural grid of the valley floor, connected by historic desert routes like Old Aqueduct Rd and Dillon Rd.
