About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park defines the western landscape of this desert survey, where complex drainage systems like Tule Wash and Tarantula Wash carve through the arid terrain. The map documents the boundary between San Diego and Imperial counties, revealing a sparse network of desert survival and navigation markers. Water sources are scarce, noted by features like Five Palms Spring and several dry wells, including Wolfe Well (Dry) and another unnamed Well (Dry) near Benson Lake.
