2015 Map of White Water

About this map

San Gorgonio Pass serves as the primary corridor for human movement and infrastructure in this desert landscape, where the San Bernardino Mountains and San Jacinto Mountains converge. The map documents a critical infrastructure network, including the Colorado River Aqueduct, which winds through the hills, and the Railroad Ave corridor paralleling Interstate 10. Small settlements like Bonnie Bell, White Water, and Snow Creek are positioned at the mouths of canyons where water traditionally emerged from the high peaks. The presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail crossing the quadrangle highlights the area's role as a major geographical junction. For the historian or researcher, the map preserves the exact layout of residential streets in the hills, such as Kalsman Dr and Haugen Lehmann Way, alongside natural landmarks like One Horse Ridge and Painted Hill.
