2021 Map of West of Nelson Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Mojave Desert terrain dominates this 2021 survey, revealing a landscape defined by ephemeral hydrography and complex surveying boundaries. The most prominent natural feature is Goldstone Lake, an alkaline dry lake bed situated in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. This area of San Bernardino County is marked by several township and range boundaries, including t15n r1e and t29s r47e, which delineate the public land grid across the arid basins and surrounding uplands. The absence of modern infrastructure or named settlements reflects the region's character as a specialized military or research buffer zone, where the landscape remains largely shaped by natural drainage patterns rather than human development.
