1988 Map of Hedges

About this map

The Cargo Muchacho Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this California desert region, where a history of extraction is marked by the presence of the Tumco Mine and various Prospects. The map identifies the specific location of Hedges (Site), a former mining settlement alongside Tumco, offering a clear view of the area's industrial footprint in the late 20th century. Near the foot of the range, a Cem and Gold Rock Ranch Trailer Park represent the sparse human presence amidst the arid terrain. The drainage patterns of Indian Wash and other unnamed seasonal washes provide the primary geographical structure to the north, cutting through the high desert floor between the mountains and the various mining pits and survey benchmarks that define this rugged corner of Imperial County.
