1940 Map of Frink

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Salton Sea dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, with its shoreline sitting well below Sea Level. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the arid Chocolate Mountains to the north and the emerging agricultural infrastructure of the Imperial Valley to the south. This 1940 aerial survey shows the Southern Pacific railroad cutting a diagonal line across the desert floor, serving small rail stops and settlements like Frink, Wister, and Pope.
