2021 Map of Alamorio

About this map

The Imperial Valley landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation channels and drainage ditches that support this agricultural powerhouse. The Alamo River snakes through the center of the sheet, surrounded by a geometric grid of laterals and drains named after plants and geographic markers, such as the Oak Lateral, Osage Lateral, and Orchid Lateral. Small settlements and junction points including Alamorio, Orita, and Sandia serve as the primary human hubs within this highly engineered environment. The infrastructure is anchored by major works like the Holtville Main Drain, which manage water flow across the desert floor. This grid-heavy layout reveals the intensive land management required to sustain farming in the region, with roads like Silliman Rd and Taecker Rd following the water lines to connect the scattered communities of Curlew and Moss to the wider valley.
