1959 Map of Harpers Well

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

San Felipe Creek and Carrizo Wash converge in this arid landscape of the Lower Borrego Valley, where the terrain frequently dips below Sea Level. The map reveals the essential infrastructure of desert travel during the mid-20th century, anchored by the historical junction at Harpers Well. This site, along with the nearby locations of Salk and Cris, represents the sparse human footprint in an area defined by its drainage systems like Tarantula Wash and the rising land of the Superstition Hills to the east.
