About this map

Desert Shores and Salton Sea Beach occupy the narrow strip of land where the eastern foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains meet the northwestern edge of the Salton Sea. This desert landscape is defined by the convergence of the Coachella Valley and the Imperial Valley, showing a complex transition from high-elevation ridgelines down to the shore. A triple-county boundary line marks a specific point of intersection for Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial counties.

Evidence of the region's geological and hydrological character is found in the various desert drainages such as Garner Wash, Travertine Palms Wash, and Wonderstone Wash. The map also captures local landmarks like Travertine Rock and Fish Spring, alongside the residential street grids that characterize the small shoreline communities of Coolidge Springs and its neighbors during the early twenty-first century.
