Warrens Well is about 5 miles down on the Mohave Valley slope at 3100 feet. The valley is open and slopes gradually eastward past Coyote Holes and on down to 29 Palms, some 23 miles still farther east. 
The ridge to the north 200 or 300 feet higher than valley separates it from the Mohave desert proper of about the same level as the Well [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] of the same general character of country.
The mts on the south are higher, 1000 to 2000 feet higher than the well and covered on north slopes with Junipers & nut pine but no larger timber.
The rock is mainly granite of a coarse texture and the washes are granite gravel. The soil of the valley is firm & good generally and supports a good stand of desert plants. Water is scarce, but that at the well is very good & pure.
A windmill pumps enough for the cattle & for passing teams. A cabin & corral at the well are used by the cowboys & campers.
