2015 Map of Durmid SE

About this map

The Salton Sea dominates the southern landscape of this 2015 survey, where the water meets the agricultural expanse of the Imperial Valley. This quadrangle illustrates a stark desert environment defined by the fluctuating shoreline of California's largest inland sea and the grid-based irrigation patterns that allow for farming in such an arid climate. In the northeastern corner, the small settlement of Bertram sits along the transit corridor where Range Rd and the regional highway system navigate the narrow strip of land between the water's edge and the rising desert floor. The map provides an essential look at the physical geography and administrative boundaries, including t9s r11e, as they appeared during a period of ongoing ecological interest in the Salton Sink.
