1958 Map of Orocopia Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
Orocopia Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Riverside County, where the desert terrain is defined by the winding course of Orocopia Canyon. The southern portion of the map reveals the critical water infrastructure of the era, specifically the Coachella Canal Levee and several associated siphons and dikes designed to manage water flow through this arid region. The presence of Dos Palmas Spring and nearby Seeps highlights the vital, sparse water sources that have historically dictated human movement and settlement in the Colorado Desert.
