2018 Map of Coyote Wells

About this map

Coyote Wells serves as a central point of reference in this arid expanse of Imperial County, situated near the northern edge where drainage systems like Coyote Wash and S Fork Coyote Wash carve through the desert floor. The landscape is defined by its dramatic depressions and corridors, including the wide Yuha Desert and the more confined Davies Canyon and Pinto Canyon to the southwest. At the southern margin, the map delineates the international border between the United States of America and Mexico, a boundary that runs just south of the remote Davies Valley. This topography highlights the vital role of seasonal watercourses and transport routes like Co Hwy S80 in a region characterized by the shifting sands of the Yuha Basin.
