1956 Map of Kane Spring NE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Salton Sea shoreline dominates this mid-century survey of the Imperial Valley, revealing a landscape defined by water management and military activity. Situated at an elevation of 235 feet below sea level, the map captures the extensive Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge and the adjacent Salton Sea Test Base, which occupied a significant portion of the western coast. The desert floor is characterized by shifting Sand Dunes and the seasonal flows of San Felipe Creek and San Felipe Wash. Significant irrigation infrastructure, such as the Trifolium Drain and Trifolium Extension, illustrates the complex engineering required to reclaim this arid basin. Small markers of human settlement like Clancy and Mitchell appear near a remote Landing Strip, while a Gaging Station and various water towers suggest the technical labor involved in monitoring this changing inland sea.
