Sea View Beach and Sandy Beach sit along the western edge of the Salton Sea, marking the intersection of desert shoreline and the engineered agricultural landscape of the Imperial Valley. This modern survey illustrates the persistent struggle for water management in one of the lowest elevations in North America, where the natural drainage of San Felipe Cr and the San Felipe Wash meets human-made irrigation infrastructure. Features such as the Trifolium Drain and Lateral Nine reflect the intensive plumbing required to sustain cultivation in this arid basin. The map captures a specific moment in the Salton Sea's receding shoreline, documenting the spatial relationship between small recreational outposts and the vast, saline water body that dominates the local geography.
