About this map

Imperial Valley terrain meets the shoreline of the Salton Sea in this topographical study of the southern California desert. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the water's edge to the elevated formations of the Bat Caves Buttes. Historical transit and utility corridors are prominent, with Grapefruit Blvd and several rail-adjacent settlements like Durmid, Bertram, and Ferrum following the low-lying basin.

Evidence of desert habitation and water management is scattered across the arid expanse, from the Coachella Canal in the northeast to the Rancho Dos Palmas area. Local landmarks such as the Desert Air Sky Ranch Airport and Hunters Spring provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of infrastructure and small outposts along the Salt Cr drainage and the border between Riverside and Imperial counties.
