2021 Map of West of Juniper Mine

About this map

The Mojave National Preserve anchors the western portion of this landscape, where the elevations of the Piute Range descend toward the arid flats. This 2021 survey details a remote section of the California-Nevada border, where San Bernardino Co meets Clark Co. The terrain is defined by the broad drainage of the Piute Wash, which flows through the eastern half of the quadrangle toward the Piute Valley. The map illustrates a strictly desert environment within the Mojave Desert, characterized by complex topography and the absence of established modern settlements. The straight-line boundary between California and Nevada cuts diagonally across the northern section, marking a distinct political division in this high-desert corridor.
