2021 Map of Ogilby

About this map

The Cargo Muchacho Mountains rise abruptly from the desert floor in this Imperial County landscape, anchoring a region defined by mining history and shifting sands. Just east of the massive Algodones Dunes, the map documents the small settlements of Ogilby and Felicity, the latter of which is famously accessed via Center of the World Dr. The road network provides evidence of the area's industrial past and present, with routes like American Girl Mine Rd leading into the heights near Pasadena Peak and Stud Mtn. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the broad expanse of Pilot Knob Mesa, while the northern reaches are carved by the ephemeral Tumco Wash, illustrating the extreme arid geography of the California desert as it appeared in the early 21st century.
