2018 Map of Fonts Point
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Fonts Point overlooks a complex desert landscape where the Borrego Valley meets the southern reaches of the Santa Rosa Mountains. This 2018 survey reveals a drainage system defined by a dense network of washes, such as Travertine Palms Wash, Wonderstone Wash, and Vista del Malpais Wash, which have carved deep canyons like Rattlesnake Canyon and Coachwhip Canyon. High ground at Inspiration Point provides a vantage over the deeply eroded badlands and the ephemeral hydrology of Little Clark Lake. The map details critical water sources in this arid environment, including Rattlesnake Spring, Palo Verde Spring, and Natural Rock Tanks, illustrating how water has historically dictated movement and land use throughout these San Diego County desert tracts.
