2015 Map of Whale Mountain

About this map

Whale Mtn dominates the high desert terrain of the Sacramento Mountains in this modern survey of the California-Arizona borderlands. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage systems, including the notable Bat Cave Wash and Mohave Wash, which carve through the Mojave Desert towards the eastern boundary. The map captures a critical transportation corridor where the National Old Trails Hwy and Park Moabi Rd intersect near the Colorado River. To the west, Lobecks Pass provides a transition through the mountain range, illustrating the enduring geographic constraints on travel through this part of San Bernardino County. This survey provides a precise view of the topography and modern infrastructure at the state line, reflecting the continued importance of these historical transit routes through the desert.
