2018 Map of West of Nelson Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Mojave Desert terrain dominates this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, where the topography is defined by dry washes and arid basins. A central feature of the southeastern portion of the map is Goldstone Lake, a dry lake bed typical of the region's interior drainage patterns. Modern infrastructure is limited to the north-south corridor of Randsburg Rd, which cuts through the desert flats to provide access to this isolated area. The map illustrates the complex Public Land Survey System intersections in the region, showing where townships T28S, T29S, T15N, and T16N converge. This junction reflects the historical surveying challenges of the California desert, where different baseline systems meet.
