In 1939 he began laying out the streets and lots in the original Desert Hot Springs Cabin Sites tract. In 1940 the map was recorded and the name of the town became official. Dedication of the hot mineral water bath house and swimming pool was officially made July 12, 1941 with 2,000 people in attendance in a settlement with fewer than 20 residents.
