1940 Map of Coyote Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Coyote Wells serves as a central point of activity along the San Diego and Arizona Eastern railway, situated just north of the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This arid landscape in the Yuha Desert is defined by a network of seasonal drainage systems including Coyote Wash and Pinto Wash, alongside notable geological formations such as the Shell Beds and Yuha Buttes. Historical transit is well-documented through the presence of the Old Stage Road and modern desert routes like Anza Drive and the Hocker Cutoff. The map provides a detailed look at the Yuha Basin topography, identifying critical water sources like Yuha Spring and scenic overlooks such as Vista de Anza, reflecting the era's reliance on both rail infrastructure and established desert trails.
