1959 Map of Tubb Canyon

About this map

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park dominates this terrain, where the desert floor meets the steep elevations of the Pinyon Ridge and Grapevine Hills. The map details a sophisticated network of desert hydrology, identifying critical water sources such as Hellhole Palms, Maidenhair Falls, and numerous family-named or descriptive springs including Johnnie Spr, Cottonwood Spring, and Bubbling Spring. These water points define the historic paths through the arid landscape, connecting to the Borrego Valley in the northeast.
