2012 Map of West Ord Mountain

About this map

West Ord Mountain and Goat Mountain dominate this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, where the terrain is marked by the deep cut of Traer Agua Canyon. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated transition area between mountain peaks and the desert floor. A remote water source, Taylor Spring, appears east of the main mountain mass, an essential feature for both historical livestock and modern desert life. The southwestern portion of the sheet reveals the early stages of desert residential development, with a grid of local roads including Villa Nova Rd, Millberry St, and the distinctively named Jay Jay Blvd. This map provides a precise record of how human habitation and infrastructure began to push into the arid slopes of the Ord Mountains during the early 21st century.
