The Coachella Valley National Wildlife Refuge dominates the center of this 2018 survey, preserving a critical desert ecosystem amid the rapid residential expansion of the Coachella Valley. The map documents the urban interface where the developed streets of Palm Desert, Desert Palms, and northwestern Indio meet the arid landscape of the Indio Hills. Notable for its unique grove locations, the map identifies several oases such as Willis Palms, Pushawalla Palms, and Macomber Palms, which stand in stark contrast to the surrounding desert terrain.
