1955 Map of Glamis

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Coachella Canal cuts a sharp line across the arid landscape of Imperial County in this mid-century survey, separating the sweeping Sand Dunes from the technical infrastructure of the desert. The Southern Pacific railroad parallels the canal, serving the small stops of Glamis and Ruthven. This era represents a period of significant military and water-management activity, evidenced by the large Naval Reservation and a remote Landing Strip. Local movement is traced through a network of Jeep Trails that navigate around landmarks like Deer Peak. The map provides specific engineering details for the time, such as the Gaging Sta, Coachella Bridge No 1, and Coachella Bridge No 2, which were vital for managing resources in this environment during the late 1950s.
