Here is the story printed on the map..."The Legend of Pegleg’s Gold One of the most famous prospectors of the 1800’s in this desert region was Pegleg Smith. It's rumoured he discovered black gold while stranded in a dust storm when travelling from Yuma to Los Angeles. Pegleg gathered some pebbles that he found on top of a butte. The butte was one of three, hence the significant landmark of three buttes in most versions of this story. He collected the black pebbles thinking they were copper and carried them to Los Angeles where he later discovered they were gold. When he returned to stake his claim he could not find the gold. The essential coordinates of Pegleg’s lost gold are said to be inside the Borrego Springs area, within what is now the Anza-Borrego Desert region, somewhere west of the Salton Sea, east of Coyote Canyon, and south from Clark Valley and the Santa Rosa Mountains to the Borrego Sink. The black-coated gold nuggets Pegleg claims he found were located on top of one of three buttes. Many have come in search of the gold and some have died in the desert’s unforgiving heat…Will you brave the journey and find Pegleg’s gold?" Customise the map to suite your needs.
