Anza Desert State Park and the high desert landscape along the border between California and Baja California define this late 1930s landscape. The settlement of Jacumba sits near the international line, serving as a key point on the San Diego and Arizona Eastern railroad. The mapping of this era reveals an economy of isolated resource extraction and infrastructure, evidenced by the Asbestos Mine, Mica Gem Mine, and a Lookout Tower positioned for survey or fire watch.
