About this map

The Coachella Valley landscape is defined here by the intricate management of water and the rapid expansion of desert communities. The Coachella Canal skirts the foot of the Indio Hills to the north, providing the vital irrigation that supports this arid region's agriculture and industry. Centrally, the Whitewater River channel cuts through the terrain, flanked by the growing urban footprints of Indio and Coachella.

Southward, the map details the infrastructure of La Quinta and the more industrial and agricultural reaches near Thermal. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Coachella Valley Public Cem and trace the development around the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport. The grid of named thoroughfares like Doctor Carreon Blvd and Requa Ave reveals the dense residential and commercial planning that characterizes these desert cities in the early 21st century.
