1983 Map of Wiley Well

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Bradshaw Trail traverses this arid region of the Colorado Desert, following a path long established for overland travel between the Colorado River and coastal California. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major mountain systems, including the Chuckwalla Mountains to the northwest, the Mule Mountains to the east, and the Palo Verde Mts in the southeast. This 1983 survey documents a remote area managed for both recreation and resource extraction, evidenced by the Wiley Well Campground and the Geode Beds, a site known to rockhounds and mineral collectors. Numerous drainage patterns like the Sand Wash dominate the alluvial fans between the peaks, while small-scale mining activity is noted through scattered Prospects and a specific Mine Shaft located near the boundary between Riverside Co and Imperial Co.
