2012 Map of Borrego Mountain

About this map

Ocotillo Wells serves as the primary outpost in this arid landscape, situated at the junction of the Borrego Springs Rd and the Old Kane Springs Rd. The town's layout, including streets like Split Mountain Rd, centers around the Ocotillo Airport and the nearby Benson Lake. This region of San Diego County is defined by its complex drainage network, where numerous washes such as Rainbow Wash, Palo Verde Wash, and Fault Wash dissect the terrain of the Borrego Badlands. To the west, the prominent elevations of Borrego Mountain—comprised of West Butte and East Butte—rise above the Borrego Valley. The map details the transition into the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, identifying specific natural landmarks like The Slot and the Cactus Garden, which highlight the distinct geomorphology and flora of the Colorado Desert at the start of the 21st century.
