1963 Map of Cactus

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Algodones Sand Hills dominate the western half of this 1963 survey, presenting a stark landscape of drifting dunes in eastern Imperial County. This arid environment is bisected by the Coachella Canal, a vital piece of water infrastructure that cuts across the East Mesa near Drop 1. The map captures the delicate balance between the natural desert and the engineering efforts required to move water through the region.
