2015 Map of West of Black Hills

About this map

Lava Mountains dominate this arid landscape within the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation highlights the dramatic verticality of the terrain, where jagged contours define the transition from the southern extent of Searles Valley into the upland volcanic ranges. The map is primarily characterized by its topographical detail rather than human settlement, serving as a record of the public land survey system divisions across San Bernardino County. Precise township and range boundaries, including t28s r42e and t29s r43e, provide an essential framework for understanding property and mineral rights in a region defined by its geological formations and expansive open space.
