About this map

Palm Springs serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, illustrating the dense residential grid and recreational infrastructure that defines this desert city. The map details the developed corridor along N Indian Canyon Dr and N Gene Autry Trl, extending toward the Palm Springs Municipal Airport. Cultural and leisure sites like the O'Donald Golf Course and Fairchilds Golf Course are interspersed within the street network, while the city's eastern edge is shaped by the Palm Canyon Wash and the Baristo Flood Control Channel.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions sharply into the San Jacinto Mountains. Numerous canyons, including Chino Canyon, Andreas Canyon, and Murray Canyon, provide natural drainage for the area. Water features such as Agua Caliente Spring, Tahquitz Falls, and Andreas Falls highlight the importance of localized water sources in this arid environment. Remote landmarks like Caramba Camp and Sulphur Spring appear in the higher elevations west of the valley floor.
