1959 Map of Fonts Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park encompasses this arid landscape, where the Santa Rosa Mountains drop into the deeply eroded topography of the Borrego Badlands. The map illustrates the specialized transport networks of the mid-20th century desert, including the Truckhaven Trail and numerous jeep trails that follow natural drainage patterns like Palo Verde Wash and Smoke Tree Wash. Settlement is almost non-existent, represented primarily by the Palo Verde Ranger Station and remote water sources such as Rattlesnake Spring and Natural Rock Tanks. Landmarks like Fonts Point and Inspiration Point offer expansive views over the Badlands, while a lone Prospect in Smoke Tree Canyon suggests the era's lingering interest in mineral exploration within the rugged Clark Valley region.
