2018 Map of Kane Spring NW

About this map

Imperial Valley topography defines this arid landscape, where desert drainage systems converge near the western edge of the Salton Sea. The Salton Sea Airport serves as a modern focal point, with a small grid of residential streets including Skyway Dr and Air Park Dr hinting at the specialized development of the surrounding desert community. This area is heavily influenced by hydrological features, most notably McCain Spring, which provides a rare water source amidst the expansive network of dry washes. Seasonal runoff is channeled through Surprise Wash, Tule Wash, and Campbell Wash, which carve distinct paths through the alluvial terrain toward the valley floor. The map also records the western reach of Tarantula Wash, illustrating the complex drainage patterns essential for understanding the local environment in the late 2010s.
