1960 Map of Borrego Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The arid landscape of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park reveals a complex network of seasonal drainages and topographic landmarks in the mid-20th century. Centered around Borrego Mountain, the map details a terrain carved by San Felipe Creek and its many tributaries, including Rainbow Wash and Blow Sand Canyon. The settlement of Ocotillo Wells sits at the eastern edge near the Ocotillo Wells County Airport, serving as a hub for desert travel. Historic transit routes like the Old Kane Spring Road and various Jeep Trails provide access to notable geological features such as the Borrego Badlands, the Hills of the Moon, and a narrow passage known as The Slot. This survey provides a precise record of the desert's hydrology, from the low-lying Borrego Sink to isolated watering points like Kane Spring and Benson Lake.
