1957 Map of Coyote Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Ocotillo and the neighboring settlement of Coyote Wells sit at the northern edge of this arid landscape, which stretches southward across the Yuha Desert to the United States Mexico border. The map documents a critical corridor of desert travel, where the Arizona and San Diego Eastern railroad and the Yuha Cutoff provide passage through the drainage networks of Coyote Wash and Yuha Wash. Cultural landmarks such as the Vista De Anza Historical Marker point to the area's deep history as a migration route. South of the main settlements, the topography descends into the Yuha Basin and the wide floor of Davies Valley, punctuated by occasional water sources like a Water Tank and several prospects along the base of the surrounding mountains.
