1956 Map of Harpers Well

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Lower Borrego Valley and the arid expanse of West Mesa dominate this mid-century desert survey, where life and transit are defined by sparse water sources and rugged travel routes. The historic Harpers Well stands as a vital landmark in this landscape of shifting sands and seasonal drainage, connected to the surrounding territory by the Old Kane Spring Road and numerous primitive paths. The desert topography is deeply etched by the courses of San Felipe Creek, Carrizo Wash, and Tarantula Wash, while the Superstition Hills rise to the east.
