1959 Map of Fonts Point

About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park dominates this late-1950s survey of the arid California landscape, where complex drainage systems and relief define the terrain. The map captures a transition from the Santa Rosa Mountains in the north to the heavily eroded Borrego Badlands in the south. Critical desert water sources are documented at Rattlesnake Spring, Palo Verde Spring, and the Natural Rock Tanks, illustrating how precious moisture dictated movement through these canyons.
