There are two water resource basin subdivisions of the Northern Mojave–Mono Lake subregion (HUC 1809). Northern Mojave–Mono Lake water resource subregion (HUC 1809) is one of 10 water resource subregions within the California water resource region and is one of 222 water resource subregions in the federally organized United States hydrologic unit system.
It formerly was the Mojave River's terminal lake, [5] and received about 1 millimetre per year (0.039 in/year) of sediment. [45] The Coyote Basin was not permanently coupled to the main lake body; its relatively large surface area and consequently high evaporation would have stabilized lake levels when it was connected to Lake Manix proper.

Lake Mojave in relation to other Pleistocene-era lakes in the region. The Mojave River is the principal river reaching the Lake Mojave basin, [3] and the principal river of the Mojave Desert. [5] Presently, a number of springs on the western side of the Lake Mojave basin form small waterbodies. [5]
Soda Lake (or Soda Dry Lake) is a dry lake at the terminus of the Mojave River [1] in the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County, California. The lake has standing water during wet periods, and water can be found beneath the surface. Soda Lake along with Silver Lake are what remains of the large, perennial, Holocene Lake Mojave.
A freshwater lake developed in the basin about 400,000 – 500,000 years ago near the Calico Archaeological Site. The lake was present until the late Pleistocene. The last high stand of Lake Manix was at 543 m (1,781 ft) and had a surface area of approximately 236 km 2 (91 sq mi). This lake drained, probably catastrophically, approximately ...
The lake is approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) by 6 km (3.7 mi) at its widest point. Coyote Dry Lake lies to the south of Fort Irwin Military Reservation and southwest of the Tiefort Mountains. St. Antony's Monastery is located about 4 mi (6.4 km) to the southeast. Numerous meteorites have been found on the lake bed. [1]
The evaporite basin is approximately 19 km (12 mi) long and 13 km (8.1 mi) at its widest point, yielding 1.7 million tons annually of industrial minerals within the basin to the Searles Valley Minerals mining operations. Searles Lake is bounded by the Argus and Slate Mountains. Named after John Wemple Searles. [1]
Superior Lake is a dry lake basin in the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County, California, 40 km (25 mi) north of Barstow. The lake is made up of three basins, approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) long and 6 km (3.7 mi) at its widest point. Through the Holocene, this three-lake system was one body of water.
