1957 Map of Coyote Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Coyote Wells and the neighboring settlement of Ocotillo serve as the primary hubs in this arid landscape, situated along the San Diego and Arizona Eastern rail line. The terrain transitions from the deep depressions of the Yuha Basin to the elevated reaches of Davies Valley, punctuated by a series of ephemeral watercourses including Coyote Wash and Yuha Wash. Cultural history is noted at the Vista De Anza Historical Marker and Yuha Well, reflecting the long-standing significance of water sources in this desert environment. The map also documents the international border with Mexico at the southern edge, where the Yuha Desert Recreation Lands meet the Baja California Norte boundary. Mining interest is indicated by scattered prospects throughout the canyon systems, while modern infrastructure like a Microwave Relay Sta and the Yuha Cutoff road highlight mid-century transit and communication developments.
