USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Salton Sea dominates the northwest corner of this Imperial County landscape, its 1940s shoreline defined by a vast Migratory Bird Refuge and geologic curiosities like Mud Pots and Obsidian Butte. This era captures a highly engineered agricultural basin where the Alamo River and New River are supplemented by an intricate network of irrigation works, including the Central Main Canal and Trifolium Main Canal. The presence of Dry Ice Wells near Mullet Island highlights a unique local industry of the period.
