1959 Map of Earthquake Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Old Overland Stage Route cuts a diagonal path through this arid high-desert landscape, preserving a vital corridor of early California transportation history. Located within the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the map captures the meeting of several significant valleys, including Valle de San Felipe, Earthquake Valley, and Blair Valley. A prominent San Felipe-Butterfield Stage Station Historical Marker at Scissors Crossing serves as a reminder of the mid-19th-century stagecoach era, while the Yaguitepec Site near Ghost Mtn hints at even deeper indigenous history.
