About this map

The San Gorgonio Pass serves as a critical corridor between the San Bernardino Mountains and the San Jacinto Mountains, where the modern infrastructure of Riverside County intersects with the long-standing desert landscape. In the late 2010s, this area shows a transition from the established outskirts of Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs to the smaller residential clusters of Whitewater and Bonnie Bell. The drainage of the Whitewater River and the San Gorgonio River dictates the local geography, particularly near Windy Point.

Outdoor heritage is represented by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds through the San Bernardino National Forest. Local landmarks like One Horse Ridge and the Snow Creek settlement highlight the importance of water sources in this arid environment, evidenced by One Horse Spring and Dunkel Spring. The layout of local streets such as Tamarack Rd and Railroad Ave provides a detailed view of the small-scale development around the historic White Water and Mons areas.
