2021 Map of Glamis SE

About this map

The Algodones Dunes dominate the northeastern landscape of this southeastern corner of the Imperial Valley, showing the distinct shift from active sand fields to the flatter desert floor. Managed water distribution is the central human feature here, represented by the Coachella Canal as it cuts a diagonal path through the East Mesa. Parallel to this engineering feat, the Coachella Canal Rd provides the primary access through an otherwise undeveloped expanse of public lands. The map captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with grid lines for Townships 15 and 16 South crossing the terrain, illustrating how 20th-century water management transformed this arid borderland.
