2012 Map of White Water

About this map

Whitewater River and the San Gorgonio River converge in this high-desert landscape near the entrance to the Coachella Valley. The map documents the residential patterns of small desert enclaves such as Bonnie Bell, White Water, and Snow Creek at the start of the 2010s. Steep topographic changes are evident in landmarks like Kitching Peak and The Matterdome, while agricultural and commercial history is noted at Cox Ranch and the Whitewater Trout Farm. The transportation corridor is heavily defined by the Interstate 10 path through Mons, with local access provided by a network of roads including Tamarack Rd and Whitewater Canyon Rd. Remote water sources like One Horse Spring and Dunkel Spring illustrate the importance of springs in the arid terrain between Stubbe Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon.
