1955 Map of Glamis

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Coachella Canal cuts a distinctive diagonal across this mid-century landscape, marking a vital water artery through the arid Imperial County terrain. This survey reflects a period of significant water management and military presence, as the canal corridor parallels the Southern Pacific railroad line near the settlements of Glamis and Ruthven. The map highlights the stark transition from the East Mesa and its Sand Dunes to the rising elevations of the Chocolate Mountains, featuring Deer Peak. Military land use is well-documented via the US Naval Reservation, which includes a Landing Strip and various Jeep Trail networks. Infrastructure such as Coachella Bridge No 1 and Coachella Bridge No 2, alongside a Gaging Sta, provides evidence of the engineering required to sustain travel and irrigation in this desert environment.
