About this map

Imperial Valley irrigation infrastructure and desert landscape converge in this 2015 study of western Imperial County. The industrial outpost at Plaster City stands as a focal point near the transition from the arid West Mesa to the managed agricultural lands further east. The map illustrates a complex network of man-made waterways essential to the region's economy, including the Westside Main Canal, the Foxglove Canal, and the Forget-Me-Not Canal.

South of these developments, the Yuha Desert and Yuha Wash characterize the untouched terrain, while seasonal drainages like Coyote Wash cross the central valley. Smaller settlements like Dixieland are situated alongside a grid of rural roads such as Dunaway Rd and Jeffery Rd, providing a detailed look at the interface between the desert floor and the heavy hydraulic engineering required to sustain local industry and agriculture.
