1956 Map of Calipatria SW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Salton Sea dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, its shoreline appearing at an elevation of 235 feet below sea level. This landscape is a complex desert-irrigation network, defined by a massive grid of engineered waterways including the Westside Main Canal, Trifolium Canal, and Thistle Canal. These channels, alongside dozens of laterals and drains like the Vail Canal, transformed the arid Imperial Valley into a productive agricultural zone.
