1959 Map of Earthquake Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Old Overland Stage Route carves a path through this 1959 topographical record, tracing the historic transportation corridor of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. At the western edge, the settlement of Banner sits near the base of the mountains, while Scissors Crossing marks the junction where desert travelers navigated the complex terrain. The map highlights the intersection of natural water sources and human passage, from the Sentenac Cienaga and various prospects to the San Felipe-Butterfield Stage Station Historical Marker. Local landmarks such as the Yaquitepec Site on Ghost Mtn and the Blair Valley Ranger Sta provide specific points of interest for those studying mid-century desert habitation and land management. The geography is defined by high peaks like Grapevine Mtn and Granite Mtn, which frame the deep basins of Earthquake Valley and Mason Valley.
