1959 Map of Borrego Palm Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park dominates this late-1950s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its canyon systems and the early expansion of Borrego Springs. In the lower-right, a grid of residential and resort development emerges, with several roads noted as being under construction. This burgeoning desert community is contrasted by the high, remote terrain of San Ysidro Mountain and Palm Mesa to the west. Evidence of the region’s historical and recreational significance is seen in labels for the El Vado Historical Marker and the Sheep Canyon Ranger Station. The drainage patterns of Coyote Creek and its many tributaries, including Indian Creek and Henderson Canyon, are intricately mapped, providing a clear picture of the hydrological challenges and natural landmarks like the Valley of the Thousand Springs that defined this portion of San Diego County.
