2018 Map of El Centro

About this map

El Centro and Imperial anchor this detailed study of the Imperial Valley's complex agricultural and transit landscape. The map reveals the intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to this desert region, featuring the Central Main Canal, Dandelion Canal, and numerous lateral drains like Dahlia Lateral Eight and Eucalyptus Lateral Seventeen. These water systems define the property boundaries and local geography between the primary settlements. To the north, the Imperial County Airport and the Imperial Cem provide significant landmarks for local researchers. Smaller communities and named areas such as Wilsie, Anza, and the Douthitt Strip appear alongside educational hubs like Imperial Valley College. The grid-based road system, including W Ralph Rd and Neckel Rd, shows the high-density agricultural development of the early 21st century.
