About this map

The arid expanse of the Jacumba Mountains dominates this 2018 survey of the California borderlands. The topographical detail captures the rugged transition from high desert peaks down to the low-lying Coyote Wash. Notable settlements like Ocotillo and Boulder Park sit along the corridors defined by Co HWY s80 and In-Ko-Pah RD, illustrating how infrastructure navigates the challenging terrain of Devils Canyon and the In-Ko-Pah Gorge.

To the north, the Emory Ranch Airport provides a modern landmark amidst natural features such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Pinto Canyon. Genealogists and historians can trace the specific drainages of Myer Cr and Palm Canyon Wash as they carve through Davies Valley and Myer Valley. The map offers a precise look at the land use and natural barriers that shaped this corner of Imperial County, from the steep slopes of the mountains to the flat stretches near the San Diego County line.
