2012 Map of Cathedral City

About this map

Cathedral City is the central hub of this 2012 survey, situated in a landscape defined by desert washes and the developing recreational infrastructure of the Coachella Valley. The Whitewater River and Palm Canyon Wash carve through the arid terrain, which is bracketed by Flat Top Mountain to the north and Murray Hill to the south. Notable local settlements and residential developments include Royal Palms, Caliente Sands, and Suntown, alongside agricultural and commercial features like the Snyder Date Gardens and Ferguson Ranch. The area's focus on leisure is evident in the dense concentration of golf courses such as the Mission Hills North Golf Course and Dinah Shore Golf Course. Transportation follows the path of the Banning Indio Rd, which connects the larger city with smaller outlying points like Rimlon and Edom. For genealogists and local historians, the Palm Springs District Cem provides a specific point of interest within this suburbanizing desert environment.
