1996 Map of West of Red Pass Lake

About this map

Fort Irwin Military Reservation dominates this desert landscape in the Mojave, where the terrain is defined by dry drainage patterns and significant elevation changes. The southern portion of the map is characterized by the Tiefort Mts, which rise abruptly from the surrounding flats. In the northern sections, a series of man-made Levee structures indicate efforts to manage water flow across the arid environment, where intermittent Wash features are the primary markers of the hydrologic system. This provisional survey captures the intersection of military land use and the natural topography of San Bernardino County during the mid-1990s, focusing on an area where access was strictly controlled and the landscape remained largely undeveloped apart from these specialized infrastructures.
