2015 Map of Midway Well

About this map

The international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos defines the southern portion of this desert landscape. This 2015 study illustrates a vital corridor of infrastructure where the All-American Canal carries water across the East Mesa of the Imperial Valley. The map focuses on the transit artery of the Evan Hewes Hwy, which parallels the canal and passes through the remote outpost of Midway Well. Local engineering and access are further noted by the presence of the Brock Research Ovps. The stark contrast between the desert terrain and the massive irrigation project demonstrates the 21st-century management of the border region's hydraulic and transportation networks.
