2015 Map of West of Drinkwater Lake

About this map

The Granite Mountains rise prominently across the northern portion of this arid landscape, showing a complex network of canyons and high ridges within the broader Mojave Desert. This 2015 topographic study documents a largely undeveloped stretch of San Bernardino County, where the terrain is primarily defined by significant elevation changes and natural drainage patterns. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, with township and range lines including t16n r2e, t16n r3e, t15n r2e, and t15n r3e overlaying the desert floor. The absence of modern infrastructure or named settlements highlights the preserved, open character of this high-desert environment during the early 21st century.
