2012 Map of Glamis

About this map

The Algodones Dunes dominate this desert landscape, where shifting sands and vast drainage systems like Ninemile Wash define the terrain of the East Mesa. The settlement of Glamis sits at a critical junction of travel routes, serving as a gateway to the dune fields and the nearby Ted Kipp Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the essential infrastructure required for desert life and transit, most notably the Coachella Canal cutting across the western edge of the quadrangle. To the southeast, the location of Ruthven and the presence of Vista Mine Rd suggest the historical and industrial connections to mineral extraction and rail-side stops that have long shaped this corner of Imperial County.
