2012 Map of Shell Reef
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Shell Reef and the Pumpkin Patch define the arid landscape of this San Diego County quadrangle. The map captures a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including the extensive Arroyo Salada, Tule Wash, and the meandering Tarantula Wash that cuts through the eastern sector. These dry washes point to a desert environment where water is a rare and precious resource, marked by specific points like Five Palms Spring and Barrel Spring.
