1988 Map of Pegleg Well

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Chocolate Mountain dominates this desert landscape within Imperial County, serving as the backdrop for extensive military and mineral history during the late twentieth century. Much of the area falls within the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range, defined by the Naval Reservation Boundary. This proximity between defense and mining is evident in the southwest corner, where the Pegleg Mine and German Diggins sit near the base of the peaks. The presence of Pegleg Well suggests the critical importance of water access for early prospectors and surveyors in this arid environment. Topographic details reveal a network of drainage features like Arroyo Seco and Martinez Gulch, alongside surveying markers such as Sego SW Base and numerous unnamed prospects that speak to the region's enduring draw for mineral exploration.
