This vintage chrome postcard features the Jacumba Cafe and Motel in Jacumba, California, a desert roadside stop located on Highway 80 just 200 yards from the Mexican border. The image shows the cafe building with its prominent signage, a Coca-Cola advertisement, and a parking lot filled with classic 1960s automobiles set against arid desert hills. The back shares fascinating history of Jacumba, noting it was a resort with mineral springs and originally a mail station on the Yuma route established in 1852 by James McCoy. The town sits along an old Spanish trail known as Jornada de la Muerte and El Camino del Diablo. Card number B-874/S-59269, photo-color by Merle Porter, published by Royal Pictures of Colton, California. A wonderful piece of California desert roadside Americana.
