1944 Map of Edom

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Coachella Valley agriculture and the early resort developments of the High Desert define this mid-century landscape. The map highlights the desert's mid-century transition from isolated ranches like Two Bunch Palms Ranch and B Bar H Ranch to burgeoning communities such as Desert Hot Springs and Cathedral City. Specialized agriculture is evident through the Snyder Date Gardens and Wonder Date Gardens located near the Whitewater River. The rugged northern boundary is dominated by the Little San Bernardino Mountains and a portion of Joshua Tree National Monument, where numerous canyons like Pushawalla Canyon and Wide Canyon descend toward the valley floor. Transportation corridors follow the Southern Pacific railroad and the Dillon Highway, passing through small sidings and settlements like Edom and Myoma that served the area's rail and road economy before significant post-war expansion.
