2018 Map of West of Broadwell Mesa

About this map

The Mojave Desert terrain dominates this 2018 survey, characterized by the convergence of several prominent mountain ranges and desert washes. The arid landscape is defined by the Bristol Mountains to the east and the Cady Mountains to the west, with the Mesquite Hills rising in the northern reaches. This area in San Bernardino County serves as a corridor for Crucero Rd, a significant unpaved thoroughfare that navigates the lower elevations between these high-relief formations. The presence of Hidden Valley Wash indicates the drainage patterns that have sculpted the alluvial fans and valley floors over millennia. The map illustrates a segment of the American West where public lands are delineated by Township and Range boundaries, such as t10n r8e, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in managing this expansive desert environment.
