About this map

Imperial Valley desert terrain dominates this 2015 survey, where the arid landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages. Prominent dry watercourses such as Arroyo Salada, Surprise Wash, and Tule Wash cut across the alluvial fans, illustrating the hydrological patterns of this low-elevation basin. A concentrated area of development is visible at the Salton Sea Airport, featuring a grid of residential-style streets including Skyway Dr, Air Park Dr, and Air Crest Ave.

Remote infrastructure is sparse elsewhere, though Pole Line Rd and Salton Sea Rd provide critical transit corridors through the desert. Local history and geology intersect at McCain Spring, a notable water source in an otherwise parched environment. The map also delineates the lower reaches of Campbell Wash and Tarantula Wash, tracing the paths where occasional desert storms channel water toward the nearby Salton Sea basin.
