About this map

Coyote Canyon and its complex network of forks dominate this 2018 survey of the desert landscape north of Borrego Springs. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of San Ysidro Mtn down through steep drainages like Cougar Canyon and Deering Canyon toward the valley floor. Deep in the backcountry, features such as Santa Catarina Spring and Collins Valley provide critical landmarks in a region defined by dramatic elevation changes.

On the eastern edge of the map, the residential and agricultural grid begins to take shape, showing the layout of Ocotillo and the open spaces of Galleta Meadows. The map provides a detailed view of local infrastructure, from the winding Montezuma Rd to the secluded Indian Head Ranch. For those interested in local history and genealogy, the Saint Richard Catholic Church Parish Cem is noted in the southeast corner near the transition into the Borrego Valley.
