2012 Map of East of Victory Pass

About this map

The Colorado River Aqueduct traverses the northern reaches of this desert landscape in Riverside County, highlighting the critical infrastructure required to transport water across the arid California interior. Below the aqueduct, the terrain is defined by the natural drainage of Pinto Wash, which creates a network of dry channels across the alluvial plain. The mid-to-lower portion of the map reveals a burgeoning grid of rural roads, suggesting early-stage land development or desert homesteading. Names like Moonbeam Rd, Sidewinder Rd, and Little Bear Rd mark out large rectangular parcels. Further south, more formal street names such as Plantation St, Investor Ave, and Belsby Ave indicate a transition toward planned residential or agricultural zoning in the open desert during the early 21st century.
