2012 Map of Durmid

About this map

The eastern shoreline of the Salton Sea dominates this 2012 survey, where the desert landscape meets the water's edge at several critical infrastructure points. Small rail-side locations such as Ferrum, Durmid, and Bertram mark the transition between the basin and the arid hills to the east. The presence of the Coachella Canal in the northeast corner highlights the vital role of water management in this Colorado Desert region, while Rancho Dos Palmas serves as a notable landmark of historical habitation near the northern edge. Inland, the terrain rises toward Bat Caves Buttes, a distinctive geological formation surrounded by ephemeral washes like Salt Cr. Roads such as Line Rd and Salt Creek Rd navigate the open flats, providing access to the Salt Creek Campground and more isolated spots like Hunters Spring.
