1960 Map of Beauty Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Cahuilla Indian Reservation lands dominate the northern reaches of this 1960s survey, illustrating a rugged landscape of high peaks and isolated valleys along the boundary of Riverside and San Diego Counties. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from Beauty Peak down into the broad Chihuahua Valley. Evidence of early 20th-century resource extraction and transit appears in the form of the Pawnee Mine and the Puerta La Cruz Trail, while remote outposts like Mitchell Camp and Boden Field suggest the area's use for ranching and seasonal habitation. Water is a defining factor in this arid environment, with numerous named sources such as Million Dollar Spring, Adobe Springs, and the Twin Lakes providing vital support for the scattered settlements found in Dodge Valley and Durasno Valley.
