About this map

The Imperial Valley agricultural landscape is meticulously detailed in this 2015 survey, revealing a sophisticated grid of irrigation and drainage infrastructure. Centered on the western portion of Holtville, the map highlights the intricate network of water management essential to this desert region, including the Rose Canal, Rubber Canal, and numerous lateral drains such as the McKim Drain and Graeser Drain. These man-made features define the property boundaries and transport routes of the area, winding through a patchwork of productive fields.

Small settlements and historic junctions like Meloland, Perrys Corner, and Watermans Corner are documented alongside the Alamo River, which cuts across the central terrain. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Terrace Park Cemetery and the established street grid of western Holtville. The map's layout reflects the legacy of reclamation and engineering that transformed this portion of California into a vital agricultural hub.
