1956 Map of Frink

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Chocolate Mountains dominate the arid horizon of this mid-century survey, sloping down toward the eastern shore of the Salton Sea. The landscape is a study in desert reclamation and military utility, where the Coachella Canal and East Highline Canal provide vital water via a series of numbered siphons to support the desert settlements. Along the Southern Pacific tracks, small sidings and locales like Frink, Mundo, and Wister serve as focal points for local activity, including a Tropical Fish Farm and several Rock Quarry sites. The southern half of the map reveals the era's heavy military presence, with a designated Seaplane Landing Area and an Aerial Mine Laying Area within the waters, while the Wister Waterfowl Management Area indicates early conservation efforts along the retreating shoreline of the Salton Sea State Park.
