1956 Map of Kane Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Superstition Hills dominate the southern half of this mid-century survey, rising sharply from a desert floor that sits largely below sea level. This landscape in Imperial County is defined by the intersection of natural arid terrain and intensive mid-century irrigation engineering. To the north, the San Felipe Creek is guided by a Levee system, while a complex grid of water infrastructure including Lateral 7, Drain 21, and a Siphon supports the Elmore Desert Ranch. The map captures the edge of the Salton Sea, featuring the Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge along the eastern margin. Primitive transportation routes like the Old Spring Trail and the Kane Jeep Road navigate the open ground near Kane Spring, illustrating how travelers and ranchers accessed this challenging environment before further modernization.
