Jan. 29/1939 at the lowest water in the canyon

Station No. 83 was at Coyote Well
which was, I think, the present
site of the present Coyote Wells,
Imperial Co., Calif. since he gives
that location as: "13 kilometers (8 miles)
north of Monument No. 229, 127 kilometers
(79 miles) west of the Colorado River and
100 kilometers (66 miles) east of the Pacific
Ocean. Altitude 100 meters (328 feet)."
By checking on maps that show
monuments I decided that this
agreed with the present Coyote Wells.
From Station No. 84, Mearns says
that they moved "up the slope to
Mt Spring"; from this I judged the

the site of the present Mt. Springs,
Imperial Co., Calif.
