1954 Map of Midway Well NW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

East Mesa dominates this landscape along the international border, defined by the engineering feat of the All American Canal. The canal cuts through the arid terrain, supported by infrastructure like Power Drop No 5 and a prominent Water Tank. This survey reflects mid-century agricultural experimentation in the Imperial Valley, evidenced by the presence of Experimental Farm No 1 situated north of the border between the United States and Mexico. The transition from the canal's managed water flow to the shifting Sand Dunes in the northeast illustrates the sharp contrast between human irrigation efforts and the natural desert environment. Historical researchers can trace the path of a Jeep Trail winding through the scrubland, marking the sparse transit routes in this borderland during the 1950s.
