1959 Map of Tubb Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park dominates this desert landscape, where water sources dictate the movement of travelers and settlers alike. This mid-century survey reveals a network of vital watering holes and seeps tucked into the arid topography, including Bubbling Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and the uniquely named Hellhole Palms near Maidenhair Falls. The map documents a rugged era of desert navigation before extensive modern development, centered around Tubb Canyon and the Grapevine Hills.
