1954 Map of Glamis SW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Sand Dunes dominate this mid-century landscape of the East Mesa, where the desert terrain remains largely undeveloped except for critical infrastructure. The Coachella Canal cuts through the northeast corner, a vital artery for irrigation in the Imperial Valley. Military activity is evident through the inclusion of a Naval Reservation and its associated Landing Field, likely serving as a training or testing ground during the early Cold War era. This survey, based on topography from the late 1930s and field-checked in 1954, reveals a remote environment where a lone Jeep Trail provides one of the few navigational landmarks across the shifting sands.
