TAR 18 Locations/Destinations **spoilers**
Slowhatch:
If it really is Qantas out of LAX, then that sets a new record, half-again as long as the drive out of Pahrump (TAR2).
Slowhatch:
I can drill it down a little bit: the permit (bottom of page) lists Whitewater Canyon as the spot.

is an exact location referencing a legal subdivision map for that area. If I understand the references T=Township (3 S(outh?)), R=Range (3 E(ast?)) Section 12, in the SouthWest 1/4 (one-quarter).

Couldn't say. There are special maps (usually done by surveyors) that are used as the basis for the legal description of land for property deeds and other land records. What that description was from tells me that the Bureau of Land Management (U.S. Department of the Interior) uses the legal descriptions of locations for identifying "projects."
One would need to look at a copy of the surveyor's maps that are probably on file with Riverside County in order to pin down the exact plot of land. BLM may also have such maps on file, but I don't want to say that for a fact since I've never had to look for a location that way.
