1986 Map of Eagle Mountains

About this map

Eagle Mountains and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a complex network of industrial water management and resource extraction. The northern portion of the map is defined by the Joshua Tree National Monument, while the southern reaches descend toward the Salton Sea and the path of the Coachella Canal. Key infrastructure for the Colorado River Aqueduct is visible at the Hayfield Pumping Station, serving the needs of a growing Southern California.
