	Mojave Desert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mojave Desert (Mojave is used for the desert while Mohave is used for the native people) occupies a significant portion of southern California and smaller parts of southwestern Utah, southern Nevada, and northwestern Arizona, in the United States.
		The Mojave Desert is bounded in part by the Tehachapi together with the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges.
		The Mojave, like all deserts in general, is known for its summer heat; however, much less renowned is the Mojave's wintertime cold.

	Mojave River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mojave River is a river in the Mojave Desert, California.
		The river's source is in the San Bernardino Mountains near Hesperia.
		Downstream of the dam, the Mojave River flows north and east, underground in most places, through Hesperia, Victorville, and Barstow, ending in at Mojave River Wash at the western edge of Mojave National Preserve.

	Joshua Tree NP: Native American Ethnography And Ethnohistory (Mojave)
		Mojave houses were large and usually rectangular, and covered with a thatch of arrowweed and then sand, but it is doubtful that this kind of structure was built by the Mojave in the Project Area.
		The Mojaves, whom the Mormons had succeeded in alarming about the intentions of the United States, met the boat's crew with friendliness, although they found the fact that their land could be invaded via the river upsetting.
		From 1890 until 1931, all Mojave children between the ages of 6 and 18, including those from CRIR, were required to live at the school, where a persistent effort was made to replace their Mojave cultural traditions with American traditions, a policy pursued at all the government schools for Native American children at the time.

		Mojave legend holds that tribal runners could cover the distance in only a few days, traveling by way of perennial springs and the Mojave River.
		Like their Mojave neighbors, the Chemehuevi were highly mobile, making use of resources throughout their large territory; however, they also had settlements to which they returned regularly.
		Favoring peace, the new Mojave chief guided hundreds to the reservation, while the former chief remained to lead those who refused to leave their homeland; the tribe was effectively split into two.

	The Mojave Road in the Mojave desert - DesertUSA
		The Mojave Road was a main wagon trail for only a relatively short time, two decades after the civil war, when the railroads came, as the railways created an easier route to the south complete with oases on the bitter-dry deserts.
		While it was used, the Mojave Road was a route plagued by hostile Indians, a lack of water, long stretches of sand and rough hill climbs.
		The trip begins on the shore of the Colorado River, at an elevation of 500 feet; at mile 54.8 you'll be at the head of Cedar Canyon at an elevation of 5,167 feet.

	Project: Mojave River Pipeline
		Having access to State Water Project resources is a key to a long-term, balanced supply of water in the Mojave River Basin.
		The pipeline, which runs parallel to the Mojave River and serves all communities along the river, will bring water the basins where it will percolate underground into the aquifers that provide the High Desert’s water supply, ultimately delivering up to 45,000-acre feet a year to the basin.
		In April of 2003, the Agency entered the final phase of construction of the project, which is expected to be completed in 2005.

	Our Dynamic Desert
		At its peak during this last ice age, the Mojave River drainage basin extended from the San Bernardino Mountains in the west; it flowed east and north ultimately merging with the Amargosa River before draining into Lake Manley in Death Valley.
		Lake Manix was a large inland lake that was located in the Barstow, CA region (dry Troy Lake and Coyote Lake are remnants of this larger lake basin), and Mojave Lake in the Baker, CA region (dry Silver Lake and Soda Lake are remnants of this ancient lake basin).
		Through portions of Afton Canyon the Mojave River is a perennial stream fed in dry periods by groundwater.

	Short history of the Mojave Road
		The Mojaves appear to have been extraordinary strong travelers, and were famous as desert traders.
		Now the Mojave Desert along with the entire Southwest was American territory, and an expanding nation looked to consolidate its hold on the land.
		The Mojave Road crossed Chemehuevi and Mojave territory, and attacks on travelers was common.

		Orange County resident Jeff Jones wades across the Mojave River where a sign is posted warning of the estimated 5.9 million gallons of sewage that flowed into the river on the morning of April 12.
		Coliform levels in the river water were only slightly higher and are being regularly monitored, Gallagher said.
		Gallagher said local residents will notice a heavier flow of water as the discharge to the river has been increased to offset the loss of capacity of the lost percolation pond.

		A significant portion of the historical range of the turtle in the Mojave River occurs at the Afton Canyon Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
		Much of the Mojave River flood plain has been infested with the exotic pest plant saltcedar (Tamarix ramosissima), replacing an estimated 70 percent of the native riparian vegetation in the ACEC.
		The BLM is the lead agency in the preparation of the West Mojave Coordinated Management Plan, an ambitious effort aimed at protecting biodiversity in the increasingly urban western Mojave Desert.

	Pioneer of the Mojave
		As we followed its course, the river, instead of growing constantly larger, gradually dwindled away, as it was absorbed by the sand.
		Meanwhile, camp life on the river was taking on the aspects of a settlement, what with the large number of marriages and births occurring as the Mormons patiently waited to continue their exodus.
		Dennis G. Casebier, in The Mojave Road, states that the fear planted in the minds of the Mohaves -- that whites were going to come and take their land away from them -- may have led to their August 1858 attack on an immigrant train near the Mohave Villages on the Colorado River.

	Mojave flood points out bigger issues
		The river was raging and had taken off part of their field during the night--simply washing it away.
		The Thrashers and other farmers living along the river near Oro Grande said the state Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers improperly released water from Silverwood Lake and the Mojave River Dam, sending huge gushes of water into the river channel in the middle of the night.
		The Mojave River's rising waters forced him to quickly move 3,000 head of cows and calves to higher ground and to other dairies in the area to prevent them from being swept away by the river.

	Pioneer of the Mojave
		Aaron Lane can be placed on the Mojave River as early as December 1858, at which time a theft took place on his property.
		There were other hostile Indians who could have made the attack on Lane's, including the Chemehuevis from the Colorado River region, some of whom wintered in the town of San Bernardino and were known to resent the intrusion of the white man. It is more likely, however, that the raid was made by Paiutes.
		When Fort Mojave was abandoned in May 1861, the Paiutes were reinforced in their thinking that they were winning their war with the whites.

	Desert Climate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Average hourly meteorological data for the last 36 hours are available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the Mojave River Sink (elevation 950', about 10 miles southeast of the Desert Studies Center), and Mid Hills (elevation 5,413', about 40 miles east of the Center).
		The effects of released water from the Silverwood reservoir and the flow of water down the Mojave River resulted in a large volume of water flowing through dry river basins, causing damage to county and private infrastructure and filling some of the "lost dry lakes" of the east Mojave Desert.
		Rainfall data at selected sites at the source of the river and along the Mojave River and photographs of the resultant down stream flow can be viewed at the Mojave River Flood 2005.

	Deep Creek
		Deep Creek, and its major tributary, Holcomb Creek, flow northward from the San Bernardino Mountains to the confluence with the Mojave River, eventually providing a major source of water for desert residents.
		Both streams surge through rugged rock-ribbed canyons; their waters tumble and cascade among huge boulders and pause in limpid pools as they flow from the high mountains to the desert.
		Deep Creek was a major entry point to the San Bernardino Mountains for Native Americans, who migrated from the Mojave Desert to the ountains each summer to collect acorns.

	The Alpenhorn News - Huge piles turned into mulch
		Long the bane of Cedarpines Park residents, piles of logging debris alongside Mojave River Road were being transformed this week into wood chips destined to become mulch for the nearby parched forest floor.
		Last week The Alpenhorn News reported on the apparent danger posed by the massive piles of wood debris, some as high as 30 feet, that have been left scattered throughout the San Bernardino National Forest.
		Within days, a crew of men could be seen working alongside Mojave River Road, tossing the debris into the king-sized hopper of a giant chipping machine that swallows whole trees and instantaneously spits out wood chips.
