2018 Map of Pegleg Well

About this map

Pegleg Well sits at the base of the Chocolate Mountains in this arid region of Imperial County. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the German Diggins Wash and the Arroyo Seco, which cut through the desert floor. To the northwest, the terrain rises into the vicinity of Martinez Gulch, showing the transition from alluvial fans to more varied elevations. Sparse infrastructure, such as Skyline Dr, traces the edges of this remote environment. This 2018 survey documents the persistent character of a location known for its ties to desert prospecting and travel routes, illustrating the natural features that have dictated movement through the area for generations.
