2015 Map of West of Juniper Mine

About this map

Mojave National Preserve covers the central and western reaches of this desert landscape, where the high elevations of the Piute Range descend toward the broad drainage of the Piute Wash. This 2015 survey illustrates a remote borderland where the state line between Nevada and California meets the county boundary separating Clark and San Bernardino counties. The terrain is defined by the stark transition from the mountainous outcrops in the west to the arid expanse of the Piute Valley in the east. The map records a modern configuration of the Mojave Desert, documenting the topographic contours and federal land boundaries that define this portion of the eastern Mojave, serving as a detailed record of the region’s hydrology and protected desert ecosystems.
