A desert branch of the SerranoNative Americans called the Vanyume or Beñemé, as Father Garcés called them, lived beyond and along much of the length of the Mojave River, from the east of Barstow to at least the Victorville region, and perhaps even farther upstream to the south, for up to 8,000 years. The Mohave's trail, later the European immigrants' Mojave Road, ran west from their villages on the Colorado River to Soda Lake, then paralleled the river from its mouth on the lake to the Cajon Pass. Native Americans used this trade route where water could easily be found en route to the coast. Garcés explored up the length of the Mojave River in early 1776. He called the river Arroyo de los Mártires ("river of the martyrs") on March 9, 1776 but later Spaniards called it Río de las Ánimas ("spirit river or river of the (lost) souls"). In 1826 Jedediah Smith was the first American of European origin to travel overland to California by following the Mojave Indian Trail. He called this the Inconstant River.
For the first time in decades, due to rain and snow melt, the Mojave River is actually flowing. I set out to follow the river to see if I can see how far it continously flows and where it ends.
A quick correction: At the end I make references to the Desert Studies Center, it is run by California State University.

The Mojave River: A 3D Journey
Created by the USGS, in cooperation with the Mojave Water Agency
The animation opens with an aerial view of western San Bernardino County, California. The map displays county boundaries, cities, seven dry lakes, and intermittent and perennial streams. The map then zooms into the length of the Mojave River channel. The Mojave River is the largest of the streams and rivers that flow through the area and extends more than 100 miles east from its source in the San Bernardino Mountains to the end east of Afton Canyon (Thompson, 1929; Lines, 1996).
Next, locations of points of interest appear on the map, including Mojave Forks Dam, Mojave Water Agency, Upper Narrows, Lower Narrows, and Afton Canyon. The floodplain aquifer boundary is then displayed, as is the surface water and groundwater moni...

Driving the Mojave Road in the Mojave River
The Mojave Road is an ancient trade route crossing the Mojave Desert. In Afton Canyon it follows the course of the Mojave River... which means driving through the mostly dry riverbed. Visit date: 26 December 2022.

Mojave Trails National Monument Overview Tour
Welcome to an overview tour of the Mojave Trails National Monument, located inside the vast Mojave Desert, in San Bernardino County, California. Along with two other nearby national monuments, Mojave Trails National Monument was designated in 2016. Its purpose is to preserve 1.6 million acres of undeveloped Mojave Desert before it gets consumed by large scale energy projects and other types of human development.

The Mojave River is the largest of the streams and rivers that flow through the area and extends more than 100 miles east from its source in the San Bernardino Mountains to the end east of Afton Canyon (Thompson, 1929; Lines, 1996).
Next, locations of points of interest appear on the map, including Mojave Forks Dam, Mojave Water Agency, Upper Narrows, Lower Narrows, and Afton Canyon. The floodplain aquifer boundary is then displayed, as is the surface water and groundwater monitoring sites in the area. The cities, dry lakes, points of interest, the river channel, and the monitoring sites remain visible for the duration of the river tour.
The fly-through tour then begins, providing a 3D topographic view of the entire river channel length, which is dry for the entire length. The animation begins at the junction of Deep Creek and West Fork Mojave River at Mojave River Forks Reservoir located at the northern foot of the San Bernardino Mountains at an elevation of about 3,000 feet above sea level. From the reservoir, the river generally flows northward through the city of Victorville. The animation slows down as it approaches and travels through the Upper and Lower Narrows (small canyons). The tour continues generally north and northeastward through the city of Barstow and, eventually through Afton Canyon. After emerging from Afton Canyon, the river splits into separate channels leading to East Cronise Lake and Soda Lake.

Let's go sit down by the river Me and my best friend I see tents and smoke in the distance I see acres of lands between me and fear We're walking down towards the river Me and my best friend And as I dip myself into the water Free myself of all that is tense For these moments, I digress You know You know You know just where to find me You know You know
