1954 Map of Glamis NW

About this map

The Coachella Canal dominates this mid-century desert landscape, cutting a sharp line across the shifting sands of Imperial County. This engineering feat, accompanied by infrastructure such as Coachella Bridge No 2 and a Gaging Sta, represents the mid-century effort to move water through the arid Colorado Desert. Much of the surrounding terrain is defined by the Sand Hills and Mesa Sand Dunes, where the lack of permanent roads is signaled by a network of Jeep Trails. A large portion of the eastern and southern territory is designated as a Naval Reservation, reflecting the military importance of this remote region for training and testing during the post-war era. Landmarks are few in this topography, though Deer Peak and several surveyed benchmarks like BM 114 serve as vital points of reference.
