1953 Map of Palo Verde Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Wileys Well and Clapp Spring serve as critical water points in this arid expanse of the Colorado Desert during the early 1950s. The landscape is dominated by the volcanic profiles of the Palo Verde Mountains and the Mule Mountains, where prominent landmarks like Palo Verde Peak and Thumb Peak rise above the alluvial fans. This survey captures a network of primitive desert transportation, including the Niland Rannels Road and the Army Approximate Boundary Road, which traverse the wide drainage of Milpitas Wash.
