1959 Map of Borrego Sink

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Borrego Springs serves as the focal point for this desert landscape, where mid-century development met the arid expanse of the Borrego Valley. The map reveals a specialized local economy centered on early tourism and ranching, evidenced by the presence of Desert Lodge, the Ensign Ranch, and its associated Ensign Ranch Air Strip. Significant desert hydrology is visible through the drainage patterns of Coyote Creek as it leads into the Borrego Sink, while the Borrego Air Ranch illustrates the region's reliance on small-scale aviation for connectivity.
