1942 Map of Barrel Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Vallecito Mountains and Fish Creek Mountains dominate this arid landscape, showing a transition from steep topography to the wide expanse of Lower Borrego Valley. In the early 1940s, this desert region featured sparse but critical water points like Barrel Spring and the ephemeral Benson Dry Lake. The settlement of Ocotillo sits at a crossroads along Route 78, serving as a small outpost in the vast drylands.
