1956 Map of Holtville West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Alamo River snakes through this Imperial Valley landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to desert agriculture. This 1956 survey shows the area during a period of significant agricultural expansion, characterized by a grid of named canals and drains such as Acacia Lateral 10 and Ash Lateral 15. The settlement of Holtville serves as the local hub, with its urban expansion in the 1970s noted in purple revisions. Nearby, the University of California Imperial Valley Field Station at Meloland highlights the region's role as a center for desert farming research.
