1956 Map of Iris

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Coachella Canal and the East Highline Canal dominate this Imperial County landscape, illustrating the massive mid-century irrigation infrastructure required to transform the desert into productive farmland. The geometric precision of the drainage network, including the Estelle Drain and a sequence of lateral canals from R Lateral to D Lateral, reveals a strictly managed environment where water is the primary architect of the terrain.
