1957 Map of Brawley
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The New River corridor in the mid-1950s reveals a landscape defined by the intricate engineering of the Imperial Valley's irrigation network. Between the primary hubs of El Centro, Imperial, and Brawley, the desert is partitioned by a dense grid of canals and drains, including the Westside Main Canal, Rose Drain, and Dolson Drain. This survey captures the region's industrial and military importance during the Cold War era, marked by the expansive Naval Auxiliary Air Station and a large Sugar Refinery north of Imperial.
