1959 Map of Borrego Palm Canyon

About this map

Anza Borrego Desert State Park dominates this landscape, showing a mid-century transition as recreational resorts and residential developments began to take shape near the desert floor. In the southeast corner, the settlement of Borrego Springs is mapped with a burgeoning street grid, including Montezuma Drive and Santa Rosa Drive, alongside the Borrego Palms Resort. The presence of the State Park Headquarters and Sheep Canyon Ranger Station reflects the area's administration, while the El Vado Historical Marker near Coyote Creek notes the significance of the old trails through this arid terrain.
