About this map

The Old Overland Stage Rte traces a historical path of travel across this arid landscape, running parallel to Carrizo Cr along the southern edge of the survey. This 2018 edition reveals the topography of the boundary between San Diego and Imperial counties, dominated by the Fish Creek Mountains and dramatic geological formations like Split Mtn.

Insights into the erosional character of the region are found in the concentrated drainage networks of Fish Creek Wash, Gert Wash, and Corrizo Wash. The map details distinct landforms such as the Wind Caves and high plateaus including East Mesa and South Mesa. Deep cuts in the terrain are marked by Barrett Canyon, Red Rock Canyon, and Deguynos Canyon, illustrating the hydrological forces that have shaped this desert environment over centuries.
