About this map

Imperial Valley agricultural patterns dominate this landscape, where a dense network of irrigation infrastructure supports the intensive farming of the Colorado Desert. The Alamo River snakes through the center of the sheet, flanked by the sprawling grids of the Redwood Canal and Rubber Canal. These water systems are critical to the local economy, feeding a complex hierarchy of drains and laterals such as McKim Drain and Peach Lateral that define property boundaries and land use throughout the region.

The city of Holtville serves as the primary hub in the east, characterized by its residential grid and the Terrace Park Cem. Surrounding the city are several smaller named locales including Meloland, Fuller, Rico, and Anza. This map provides a detailed view of the human-made hydrology required to sustain life and industry in this arid environment, preserving the names of local roads like Wright Rd and Ferguson Rd that connect these dispersed agricultural communities.
