1957 Map of Holtville East

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Holtville anchors this mid-century survey of the Imperial Valley, where the rigid grid of agricultural reclamation meets the untamed Sand Dunes of the eastern desert. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, featuring the East Highline Canal and the Alamo River, which support the intensive farming indicated by dozens of specialized lateral drains and canals. Outside the main settlement, the map records rural hubs like Date City and specialized facilities including the Imperial Valley Sanitarium and the Watton Labor Camp, providing a detailed view of the valley's social and economic structure during a period of significant growth. To the east, the abrupt transition to the Mesa and dunes highlights the sharp boundary between irrigated farmland and the arid California interior. Local landmarks like the Alamo School, Lechuga Store, and the Holtville Outlying Field offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this desert community.
