About this map

Anza State Park and the rugged basins of the Colorado Desert dominate this 1942 landscape during a period of expanding infrastructure. The settlement of Ocotillo serves as a central junction where Split Mountain Road meets the highway, while the smaller outpost of Little Borrego sits further south along the Old Kane Springs Road. This era reveals a desert economy driven by industrial extraction, evidenced by the Gypsum Mine in the south and the dedicated Pacific Portland Cement Railroad line used to transport raw materials across the arid flats.
