About this map

The eastern shores of the Salton Sea define the western edge of this Imperial County landscape, revealing an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the Coachella Valley. An extensive system of alphabetical canals and drains, including U Lateral and G Drain, crisscrosses the low-lying basin. The settlement of Niland serves as a primary hub for the region, while the southern portion of the sheet features Calipatria and the nearby Calipatria State Prison.

Conservation areas dominate the shoreline, with the Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge and the Imperial State Wildlife Area (Wister Unit) protecting critical habitat. Notable geologic and industrial features appear along the coast, such as Mullet Island, Red Hill, and several Carbon Dioxide Wells near the water's edge. This 1992 revision maintains a clear record of the local aviation and transportation assets, including the Calipatria Municipal Airport and Eddins Road.
