1960 Map of Clark Lake NE

About this map

The Santa Rosa Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this 1960 survey, their steep contours descending into the expansive Clark Valley. This arid region, straddling the Riverside Co San Diego Co line, is defined by its network of canyon drainages and primitive transit routes. Notable natural features include the deep cuts of Martinez Canyon and Rockhouse Canyon, which provided traditional passage through the high desert terrain. Much of the southern portion of the map is protected within the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, where early pathways like the Cactus Spring Trail and Rockhouse Trail trace the movements of those who navigated this water-scarce environment. The presence of a lone Spring at the northern edge and various unnamed Jeeptrails highlight the challenging nature of travel and survival in this remote corner of Southern California during the mid-twentieth century.
