2021 Map of Carrizo Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Coyote Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape at the boundary of San Diego and Imperial counties. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, where Carrizo Mtn stands as a prominent landmark overlooking a network of deep incisions including Fossil Canyon and Mortero Canyon. These canyons provide a look into the geological complexity of the Volcanic Hills and the alluvial drainage patterns of the Palm Canyon Wash to the south. Historically significant routes such as Sweeny Pass Rd and Mortero Cnyn Rd trace the path of earlier travelers through these arid passes. Human presence is sparse, anchored primarily by the Emory Ranch Airport in the southeastern corner, reflecting the remote nature of this borderlands region in the early twenty-first century.
