About this map

Salton Sea dominates the eastern portion of this desert landscape, its modern shoreline meeting the edge of the Imperial Valley. The western margin reveals the transition from low-lying desert floor to the rising topography of the surrounding ranges, bisected by the Salton Sea Rd. Small coastal settlements like Sea View Beach and Sandy Beach suggest a pocket of human activity along the water's edge, even as natural drainage features like San Felipe Creek and San Felipe Wash indicate the seasonal hydraulic patterns of the basin. The southern section of the map illustrates the organized agricultural infrastructure essential to this region, marked by the Trifolium Drain and Lateral Nine, which channel water into the arid valley floor. This confluence of recreation, irrigation, and harsh desert terrain highlights the complex management of California's inland sinks.
