2021 Map of Amos

About this map

The Imperial Valley meets the eastern desert landscape in this detailed topographic record, centered on the settlement of Amos. This area is defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated agricultural lands of the west and the arid reaches of the Algodones Dunes to the east. A dense network of man-made waterways, including the East Highline Canal, the Vail Supply Canal, and numerous lateral drains like the Mulberry Drain and Myrtle Drain, illustrates the complex engineering required to sustain desert farming.
