About this map

The Mojave National Preserve covers the high-desert terrain of eastern California, where the northern slopes of the Clipper Mountains meet the expansive Clipper Valley. This region is defined by its arid landscape and geological features, including the Chuckwalla Spring nestled within the southern mountain range. The map illustrates a transition from the desert floor of the Mojave Desert into more complex topographical elevations, providing a detailed record of the natural landforms as they existed in the early 2020s.

Transportation through this portion of the preserve is primarily facilitated by Essex Road, which cuts across the northeastern corner. The area remains largely undeveloped, preserving the character of the desert wilderness within the system of township and range boundaries like t9n r15e and t8n r14e. This study offers researchers a clear view of the drainage patterns and relief of the San Bernardino County desert interior.
