1956 Map of Amos
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The settlement of Amos stands at the edge of the Sand Hills, serving as a waypoint along the Southern Pacific railroad during the mid-1950s. This survey reveals a stark divide between the arid eastern dunes and the meticulously engineered agricultural landscape to the west. A complex network of irrigation channels, including the Vail Supply Canal and numerous alphabetically named laterals like the Nectarine Lateral and Nutmeg Lateral, illustrates the massive effort to reclaim the desert for farming.
