Corn Springs is a palm oasis located in the Chuckwalla Mountains south of Desert Center, California. This oasis supports abundant wildlife and is an important stopping place for migratory birds however water has not been active at the site for some decades now. The site was a major occupation site of prehistoric Native American Indian groups. The petroglyphs at Corn Springs are one of the finest examples of rock art in the Colorado Desert. They display a wide variety of elements and cover a long time span, with the earliest petroglyphs dating as far back as 10,000 years. In addition to being a route for Native American Indians moving east and west, Corn Springs was used by the Chemehuevi Indians who moved into California about 1,100 A.D. These Native American Indians lived in harmony with the desert ecosystem, utilizing many of the native plants.
