1940 Map of Canyon Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Eagle Mountains and Orocopia Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the 1940s, providing a look at the remote terrain of eastern Riverside County before modern expansion. This survey, compiled from aerial photography, highlights the critical water infrastructure of the era, centered on the Hayfield Reservoir and its associated survey markers, Hayfield West Base and Hayfield East Base. The presence of Joshua Tree National Monument in the northwestern corner signals the early preservation of this unique environment.
