1957 Map of Holtville NE

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Imperial Sand Dunes dominate the eastern landscape of this Imperial County region, creating a stark contrast with the highly engineered agricultural grid to the west. This desert environment, managed in part as the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, meets a complex network of irrigation infrastructure designed to sustain desert farming. The map reveals an alphabetized system of water management, with features like Moss Lateral, Oak Drain, Osage Lateral, and Orita Drain feeding precisely partitioned fields. Human activity in this arid zone is evidenced by a Landing Strip and a Gravel Pit located near the boundary between the dunes and the irrigated plains. Transportation is primarily defined by the intersection of rural roads and water channels, such as Holt Avenue, which serves as a primary North-South artery through the cultivated sections.
