Mojave River Camp This area, which includes the portion of the Mojave
River by the Camp and the lower portion of Deep Creek, exhibits an excellent
riparian habitat in the lower portions of the creek.
The surrounding area is chaparral. The
rare Hemizonia mohavensis is known from only this area. The area formerly supported an endemic population of
Mojave chub, Gila mohavensis; however, hybridizing with the closely related
Gila orcutti eliminated the former from the area. The area is the confluence of two dissimilar waters and
supports important aquatic insect populations. Integrity: A
dam has spoiled much of its scientific value as an area exhibiting a faunal mix
of desert and mountain forms. Use: Research,
educational, observational, present. December 1976
