Sea View Beach and Sandy Beach sit along the western edge of the Salton Sea, where the desert meets the inland water. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a landscape of contrasting hydrology, showing the natural course of San Felipe Cr and the San Felipe Wash alongside the artificial water management of the Imperial Valley. The presence of the Trifolium Drain and Lateral Nine highlights the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure required to sustain local agriculture in this arid region. The topography captures the basin's floor as it slopes toward the shoreline, providing a precise record of the shoreline and drainage patterns as they existed in the late 2010s.
