2012 Map of Wingate Wash West

About this map

Wingate Wash defines the drainage patterns of this arid landscape in San Bernardino County, where seasonal watercourses snake across the desert floor toward the east. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the topographical character of the region, including the distinct depression of Long Valley located in the southeastern quadrant. The map illustrates a network of 4WD tracks and local roads that navigate the vast, unpopulated terrain, reflecting the limited infrastructure and preservation of the natural desert environment. Researchers can observe how the intermittent flow of Wingate Wash serves as the primary hydrological feature, shaping the land as it winds through the alluvial plains of the California desert.
