2020 Map of Imperial Valley South

About this map

Frederick Butte Rd serves as the primary artery through this high desert terrain, where water management is critical for the surrounding landscape. The area is defined by a network of seasonal water sources and catchment points, including Meeks Waterhole, Rim Waterhole, and Ram Lake South Waterhole. These features, along with shallow basins like Mud Lake and Grassy Lake, suggest a land historically utilized for ranching and livestock movement. The topography transitions from level expanses such as Sunflower Flat and Braken Flat to prominent elevations like Bronco Butte and Corral Butte. This landscape is marked by the distinct drainage patterns of Rimrock Cr and the unique formation of Coyote Rock, reflecting the arid geography of the Deschutes County interior.
