1996 Map of West of Drinkwater Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
Fort Irwin Military Reservation dominates this Mojave Desert landscape as it appeared in the mid-1990s. The survey provides a high-resolution view of the specialized terrain within the installation, focusing on the arid stretches located just west of Drinkwater Lake. The northern half of the map is defined by the steep elevation changes and intricate drainage patterns of the Granite Mountains, which reach heights of several thousand feet before giving way to the lower-lying alluvial fans and desert flats to the south. This area serves as a critical zone for military maneuvers, and the cartography captures the complex network of unimproved roads and survey markers essential for navigation in such a remote environment.
