About this map

The Colorado River Aqueduct carves a critical path through this arid landscape, flanked by the Eagle Mountains to the north and the Orocopia Mountains to the south. This 1987 survey documents a region defined by massive infrastructure and protected wilderness, where the Julian Hinds Pumping Plant and nearby Substation support the movement of water toward the coast. The settlement of Chiriaco Summit serves as a lone outpost along the highway, complete with the Chiriaco Summit Airport and proximity to Shavers Valley. Much of the northern terrain is preserved within the Joshua Tree National Monument, featuring landmarks like Careys Castle and the Joshua Tree Wilderness. To the east, Hayfield Lake sits within the Chuckwalla Valley, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding ridges and the network of pipelines and power lines that traverse the desert floor.
