About this map

East Mesa defines the arid character of this Imperial County landscape, where the transition from desert upland to irrigated agricultural land is marked by an extensive grid of water infrastructure. The Coachella Canal and East Highline Canal serve as the primary arteries for this transformation, supported by a dense network of named laterals and drains including Q Lateral, J Drain, and E Drain. This rigid hydraulic engineering illustrates the mid-20th-century effort to reclaim the Colorado Desert for production.
