USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Palm Desert and Indian Wells emerge as developing resort hubs in this late-1950s survey of the Coachella Valley. The map captures a landscape in transition, where the arid alluvial plains are being re-engineered for leisure and agriculture. Large-scale irrigation and flood control are central to this transformation, evidenced by the prominent Coachella Canal, the Stormwater Channel, and the La Quinta Aqueduct managing the runoff from the Whitewater River.
