1960 Map of Borrego Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park dominates this desert landscape, where the shifting sands of the Borrego Badlands meet the complex geology of the Lower Borrego Valley. The map details a network of drainage systems including Rainbow Wash, San Felipe Wash, and Palo Verde Wash, which define the erosion patterns around the Hills of the Moon. Travel in the early 1960s relied heavily on unimproved paths like the Old Kane Spring Road and numerous unnamed Jeep Trails that provided access to remote locations like The Slot and Cactus Garden. To the southeast, the small settlement of Ocotillo Wells serves as a hub of activity, featuring the Ocotillo Wells County Airport and a scattering of water wells. The area is anchored by the prominent elevations of Borrego Mountain West Butte and Borrego Mountain East Butte, separated by Buttes Pass.
