2018 Map of Mount Signal

About this map

Imperial Valley irrigation infrastructure dominates this borderlands landscape, where a dense network of man-made waterways supports agriculture right up to the international boundary. The settlement of Mount Signal sits at the nexus of several vital water routes, including the Woodbine Canal and the Brockman Drain. The transition from the cultivated fields of the valley to the arid terrain of the Yuha Desert and West Mesa is sharp, marked by the western reach of the canal systems. Along the southern edge, the border between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos is clearly delineated, running south of Signal Rd. The presence of numerous named drains such as the Wixom Drain and Martin-Drain, alongside larger features like the New River, illustrates the complex engineering required to manage water in this desert environment during the early 21st century.
