1970 Map of Whipple Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Whipple Mountains dominate this 1970 landscape, carved by the deep drainage systems of Whipple Wash, Bennett Wash, and Bowmans Wash. This arid stretch of San Bernardino County reveals a mid-century desert environment defined by mineral exploration and large-scale water infrastructure. The presence of the Colorado River Aqueduct Tunnel and a nearby Substation reflects the technological efforts to move water across the Mojave. Evidence of prospectors and mining activity is scattered across the terrain, from the Islander Mine in the north to the Whipple Mtn Adit and various unnamed Mine and Prospect symbols. The eastern portion is marked by the Colorado River Indian Reservation Boundary, while prominent peaks like Monument Peak provide significant navigational landmarks in a region largely accessed by a network of Jeep Trails.
