Kelso Wash

Kelso Wash is an ephemeral stream[1] in San Bernardino County,[2] California, United States, that drains into Soda Lake (Hewett 1956, p. 6).

The town of Kelso lies southeast of the wash (Muhs, Lancaster & Skipp 2017, p. 227).

Kelso Wash then passes northwestward between Devils Playground to the north and Bristol Mountains to the south.

Groundwater close to the surface and runoff sustain Kelso Wash.[2] Dunes frequently blocked its course, impounding temporary lakes that filled with sediments during the early Holocene.

(Sweeney et al. 2020, p. 2328) The wash has cut as deep as 11 metres (36 ft) into the ground, and its course is flanked by river terraces.
