1904 Map of Indio

Several tribal lands, including the Cabezon Indian Res. and Torres Indian Reservation, are distributed across the lower elevations near the Whitewater River. Notable cultural landmarks such as Old Santa Rosa and the namesake settlement of Figtree John appear along the southwestern desert floor. To the south, the terrain descends into the Borego Valley, revealing remote springs like Seventeen Palms and the seasonal waters of Clark Lake.
