2012 Map of Kane Spring

About this map

Kane Spring sits at the junction of Highway 78 and 86, serving as a historical waypoint in the arid landscape west of the Salton Sea. This 2012 survey illustrates the critical intersection of water management and desert agriculture, where the Trifolium Extension and a network of irrigation channels like Lateral Seven-A and Drain Twenty-Two define the land use patterns near Elmore Desert Ranch. The arid expanse to the south is dominated by the Superstition Hills, where the natural drainage of San Felipe Cr cuts through the desert floor. The map provides a precise view of the local infrastructure that sustains life in the Imperial Valley, from the namesake spring to the engineered grid of the Barth Lateral and Lateral Number One that feed the nearby ranching and farming operations.
