1956 Map of Amos

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Amos sits at the edge of the Sand Hills in Imperial County, a small stop along the Southern Pacific railroad line. This desert landscape is defined by the massive irrigation infrastructure necessary for the Imperial Valley, with the East Highline Canal and the Coachella Levee cutting through the arid terrain. The map reveals an intricate network of lateral drains and canals, such as the Vail Supply Canal and Mulberry Drain, that deliver water to the mesa's edge. A significant portion of the eastern landscape is dedicated to a Naval Reservation, which contains specialized military landmarks including Target 95 and a Rake Tower. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Amos Cem near the railroad tracks, while several gaging stations and a Gravel Pit indicate the ongoing engineering and industrial activity of the mid-1950s.
