2015 Map of Durmid

About this map

The northeastern shoreline of the Salton Sea dominates this landscape, revealing a thin corridor of infrastructure between the water and the rising desert terrain. Small named settlements such as Ferrum, Durmid, and Bertram sit as points along the transportation spine that hugs the coast. Inland, the Imperial Valley gives way to the geological features of Bat Caves Buttes, while the Coachella Canal cuts through the eastern desert to manage the region's vital water supply. In the northern reaches, the map identifies Rancho Dos Palmas and Hunters Spring, indicating historic desert water sources and ranching locations. This survey captures a specific desert-industrial character, where local access roads like Sea Breeze Dr and Corvina Dr reflect the recreational and residential footprints of the era near the water's edge, contrasted by the isolation of the Desert Air Sky Ranch.
