1960 Map of Hot Springs Mountain

About this map

Los Coyotes Indian Reservation occupies much of this high-elevation landscape, anchored by the peak of Hot Springs Mountain. The map shows a transition from the dense drainage patterns of Agua Caliente Creek to the arid margins of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Human activity is concentrated in small settlements and family holdings like San Ignacio, San Ysidro, and Taylor Ranch. Of particular interest to local historians is the Hot Springs Mountain Lookout and the presence of a Grave and Cem near San Ignacio, marking the cultural history of these highland communities.
