2018 Map of Niland

About this map

The Imperial Valley landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure and the receding shoreline of the Salton Sea. This survey shows the agricultural engine of the region, where a dense alphabetical grid of water channels like T Drain, S Drain, and R Lateral sustain the desert fields. In the northern portion of the map, the settlement of Niland serves as a hub, with its grid of streets including Main St and Beal Rd transitioning into the rural reaches of the valley. To the south, Calipatria anchors the map, featuring the Cliff Hatfield Memorial Airport. Notable topographic features emerge from the shoreline and wetlands, including Mullet Island, Red Island, and Rock Hill, the latter of which is accessible via the Rock Hill Trail. The map also identifies the small locale of Estelle, situated near the junction of several drainage and lateral systems.
