2015 Map of Wilhelm Spring

About this map

Wilhelm Spring provides a critical water point in this high-desert landscape within the eastern Mojave Desert. The map illustrates a stark environment defined by drainage patterns and arid-land navigation, where the Mojave Heritage Trl cuts across the northern terrain. This trail alignment reflects the long history of travel through the region, following established paths between scarce resources. To the southeast, the terrain opens into Ward Valley, while the seasonal hydrology of the area is marked by the extensive courses of Homer Wash and Painted Rock Wash. The survey precisely documents the elevation contours and township boundaries, capturing the spatial relationship between these intermittent water features and the rugged topographic breaks that characterize this portion of San Bernardino County.
