1940 Map of Cottonwood Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Colorado River Aqueduct carves a line of industrial progress through the arid basin between the Cottonwood Mountains and the Mecca Hills. At this mid-century moment, the Southern California desert is defined by infrastructure and isolation, from the high desert oasis at Cottonwood Spring within Joshua Tree National Monument to the shoreline of the Salton Sea.
