About this map

The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park dominates this desert landscape, where historical travel routes intersect with severe geological formations. The Old Overland Stage Route skirts the northern edge of the Carrizo Badlands, tracing a path used by early pioneers through the Carrizo Valley. Further south, the engineering of the San Diego and Arizona Eastern railroad winds through the complex topography of the Jacumba Mountains and In-Ko-Pah Mountains, passing near Dos Cabezas.
