1960 Map of Borrego Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park dominates this desert landscape, revealing a network of seasonal washes and shifting sands that shaped early travel through eastern San Diego County. The topography is defined by the Borrego Badlands and prominent formations such as West Butte and East Butte. Geologic features like The Slot and the Hills of the Moon highlight the erosional character of the terrain. Human activity is clustered around the small settlement of Ocotillo Wells, which serves as a hub near the Ocotillo Wells County Airport and the ephemeral Benson Lake. Old transportation routes are preserved as a series of Jeep Trails and the historic Old Kane Spring Road, while the Cactus Garden and various wells mark specific points of navigation in the Lower Borrego Valley.
