1996 Map of Williams Well

About this map

Superior Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in San Bernardino County, as seen in the mid-1990s. The area is defined by a sparse but active network of 4wd trails and extraction-related activity, centered around the Williams Well settlement and the Goldstone site. Numerous Prospects and a primary Mine are scattered across the terrain, indicating a history of mineral exploration that persists alongside aviation infrastructure like the Landing Strip near the southern boundary. The San Bernardino Meridian bisects the quadrangle, serving as a critical reference point for the grid of section lines that organize this arid expanse. This survey reflects the intersection of traditional desert resource extraction and modern specialized uses within the vast interior basins.
