About this map

The Chocolate Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape, their steep ridgelines and complex topography serving as a significant geographical barrier across the Riverside and Imperial county line. Large portions of the terrain are designated as an Aerial Gunnery Range, reflecting the area's mid-century role in military training and desert maneuvers. Human infrastructure is concentrated in the southwest corner, where the Coachella Canal flows past a siphon and a protective Dike. This irrigation artery contrasts sharply with the arid mountain slopes and the utility of the nearby Rock Quarry. The presence of 4wd trails provides the only access into the back-country of the range, highlighting the isolated and controlled nature of this desert environment during the late 20th century.
