1972 Map of Yucca Valley South

About this map

Yucca Valley serves as the primary northern gateway in this 1970s study, where residential developments like Mobile Home Park and the local High Sch meet the northern edge of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. The landscape transitions from the suburban grid along Twentynine Palms Highway to the protected wilderness of the Joshua Tree National Monument. Within this high desert terrain, several seasonal water sources are documented, including the evocatively named Chuckawalla Bill Spring (Dry), Black Rock Spring (Dry), and Rattlesnake Spring. Local infrastructure is visible through the Substation, Hospital, and a Golf Course near the Benecia Trail. To the south, the topography rises toward North Park Peak and South Park Peak, revealing the remote character of Long Canyon as it crosses from San Bernardino into Riverside County.
