1957 Map of Coyote Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The San Diego and Arizona Eastern railroad tracks bisect this arid landscape, passing near the small settlements of Ocotillo and Coyote Wells. This 1950s survey documents a critical desert corridor where the Yuha Cutoff road and numerous Jeep Trails navigate the vast Yuha Desert. The southern margin is defined by the international boundary between the United States and Mexico, where Davies Valley and Pinto Canyon lead toward the border. Local history is marked by the Vista De Anza Historical Marker near the Yuha Basin, alongside scattered prospects and a shaft that indicate early mining activity. Natural drainage patterns are dominated by the winding paths of Coyote Wash and its South Fork, which converge as they head east across the flat, sandy floor.
