About this map

The Chocolate Mountains dominate this 1988 provisional survey, defining a landscape largely designated as an Aerial Gunnery Range. Situated along the boundary of Riverside Co and Imperial Co, the map documents the intersection of military airspace and essential water infrastructure. In the lower-left corner, the engineered path of the Coachella Canal cuts across the arid terrain, supported by a Siphon and a prominent Dike to manage flow through the desert. Human industry is further evidenced by a Rock Quarry, indicating localized extraction efforts amidst the high-relief topography. This map captures a specific late-century moment when remote desert reaches were utilized for both tactical training and large-scale water transport, providing a clear record of the area's specialized land use and infrastructure prior to modern developments.
