About this map

Cathedral City and the neighboring desert communities of Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Desert form a dense grid of residential and recreational development against the dramatic rise of the San Jacinto Mountains. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern layout of the Coachella Valley, showing how the urban fabric has expanded around older landmarks like the Palm Springs District Cemetery and the Palm Springs International Airport.

The landscape is defined by its transition from the steep, unpopulated terrain of Murray Hill and Cathedral Canyon to the precisely manicured valley floor. Major thoroughfares such as Frank Sinatra Dr and Bob Hope Dr connect varied neighborhoods like Suntown, Royal Palms, and Caliente Sands. To the north, the terrain shifts again toward the Indio Hills and Edom Hill, highlighting the geographic constraints that have shaped this famous resort region.
