1957 Map of Holtville NE

About this map

Irrigation infrastructure and natural desert landscapes meet in this mid-century survey of Imperial County. The meticulously planned water delivery system is evident in the grid of lateral canals and drains, including the Moss Lateral, Orchid Lateral, and Oasis Lateral, which transformed this arid environment into productive land. This geometric human footprint terminates abruptly at the eastern edge of the agricultural zone, where the East Highline Canal separates the cultivated fields from the natural Mesa and shifting Sand Dunes.
