About this map

The Calico Mountains and their high point at Calico Peak dominate this High Desert landscape, where the historic mining camp of Calico sits at the edge of the Mojave Desert. The map details the intricate topography of the range, naming geological landmarks such as Kramer Arch, Chimney Rock, and the Green Ash Hills, while tracing the paths of Wall Street Canyon and Odessa Canyon.

At the southern foot of the mountains, the town of Yermo serves as a modern hub along the transportation corridor that follows the ephemeral path of the Mojave River. Local infrastructure is well-defined, including Ghost Town Rd leading into the hills and the residential streets of Mojave Valley. From the secluded Sweetwater Spring to the railroad-adjacent settlement of Toomey, this survey provides a precise record of how human habitation and industrial history are anchored to the springs and canyons of this arid region.
