2021 Map of Yucca Valley South

About this map

Yucca Valley sits at the northern edge of this high desert terrain, serving as the gateway to the protected landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park. The map documents a complex network of residential streets and trails that transition abruptly from town into the open canyons and ridges of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. These slopes are punctuated by remote water sources, including the curiously named Chuckawalla Bill Spring and Black Rock Spring, which historically supported movement through this arid environment. To the west, the land drops toward Morongo Valley, while the southern half of the sheet is dominated by deep geological cuts like Long Canyon and Black Rock Canyon. The survey illustrates the intersection of modern suburban development with the preservation of massive desert peaks like North Park Peak and Burnt Mtn.
