Bombay Beach sits on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea, defined by a grid of streets like Avenue A and Aisle of Palms. This low-lying desert landscape within the Imperial Valley shows the intersection of sparse settlement and critical water infrastructure. To the north, the small locations of Pope and Frink align with the regional transportation corridor, while the E Highline Canal cuts across the arid terrain to the east. The presence of Frink Spring near the northeastern corner suggests an older water source in this harsh environment. The survey captures the unique topography where the desert floor meets the rising waters of the inland sea, recording a moment in the modern history of these distinctive Imperial County communities.
