2012 Map of McCoy Spring

About this map

McCoy Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Riverside County quadrangle, situated in a desert environment defined by ephemeral drainage patterns. This 2012 survey documents a region where the availability of water is rare, making the presence of McCoy Spring on the eastern slopes of the range a critical focal point for local geography. The map reveals the intricate network of dry washes that fan out from the high ground, illustrating how seasonal water flow shapes the arid basin. Though the area is largely devoid of modern settlements or infrastructure, the naming of these specific landmarks reflects their historical importance to travelers and explorers navigating the Colorado Desert.
