2021 Map of Whipple Wash

About this map

The Whipple Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in eastern San Bernardino County, where dramatic elevation changes define the terrain. The map captures a critical piece of regional infrastructure, the Colorado River Aqueduct, as it cuts through the complex topography of the Mojave Desert. This arid environment is marked by scattered natural landmarks such as Willow Spring and the prominent heights of Monument Peak. To the southeast, the Copper Basin area indicates a history of geologic interest and resource exploration. The transport network is sparse, consisting primarily of utility and access routes like Trail End Camp Rd and Bowmans Wash Rd, which navigate the deep washes and ridgelines that characterize this corner of the California desert during the early 21st century.
