1956 Map of Seventeen Palms

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Santa Rosa Mountains dominate the western landscape of this desert terrain, where the arid environment is defined by an intricate network of dry washes and occasional life-sustaining springs. The Torres Martinez Indian Reservation covers a significant portion of the northern half, extending toward the shoreline of the Salton Sea. Remote outposts and water sources like Seventeen Palms, Four Palms Spring, and Tipy Spring highlight the critical role of these sites for travel across the desert floor. To the east, the community of Salton Sea Beach sits at the water's edge, contrasting with the interior's industrial and geological features. Traces of human enterprise are visible in the Calcite Mine and various jeep tracks, including the Truckhaven Trail, which navigate the complex topography between Arroyo Salada and Wonderstone Wash.
