1956 Map of Amos

About this map

The Coachella Canal cuts a distinct line through the arid landscape of Imperial County, marking the divide between the irrigated lowlands and the shifting dunes of the Sand Hills. To the west, a highly structured grid of agricultural development is defined by an alphabetized drainage system, including Standard Lateral Drain, Marigold Lateral Drain, and Mulberry Lateral Drain. This complex network of water management, supported by the East Highline Canal and Vail Supply Canal, illustrates the mid-century transformation of the East Mesa into productive farmland.
