1952 Map of McCoy Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Chuckwalla Valley (Depression) dominates this 1952 topographic study, revealing a desert landscape shaped by erratic hydrology and early industrial infrastructure. The presence of Ford Well (Aban'd) and various water sources like Hopkins Well and Teague Well points to the vital importance of groundwater for survival and transit in the arid interior of Riverside County. Between the McCoy Mountains and the Mule Mountains, the terrain is marked by a significant Pipe Line and water management features such as a Dike and Diversion Dike, illustrating mid-century efforts to control runoff and support regional development. The map also records the location of the Roosevelt Mine and various prospects, reflecting the persistent search for mineral wealth across the Palo Verde Mesa.
