1958 Map of Borrego Mountain SE

About this map

Ocotillo Badlands and the arid expanse of the Lower Borrego Valley dominate this mid-century survey of the California desert. The landscape is defined by its harsh geography, where reliable water was a primary concern, as evidenced by Baileys Well (Dry) and the County Well (Dry) Spring. This era captures the footprint of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park as it integrates with the surrounding mountains, including the Vallecito Mts and Fish Creek Mountains. Significant human activity is noted by the presence of a Mining Railroad and several quarries, indicating industrial efforts to extract resources from the terrain near Split Mountain. A notable historical site includes Little Borego (Site), located along the Old Kane Spring Road, providing a clear look at the early transportation network and sparse settlement patterns before further modernization of the Imperial County region.
