1959 Map of Tortolita Mts

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Tortolita Mountains anchor this arid landscape of the late 1950s, where the high desert is defined by a network of ephemeral washes and isolated peaks. Water management is the primary marker of human activity, as evidenced by numerous named wells and tanks like Sutton Well, Blue Ribbon Tank, and Magma Well. These features were critical for the sprawling ranching operations found across the valley, including Cross Triangle Ranch and Rancho Escondido.
