2021 Map of Plaster City

About this map

Plaster City and Dixieland stand as the primary human outposts in this arid landscape where the eastern Yuha Desert meets the Imperial Valley. The environment is defined by an intricate water management system designed to reclaim the desert for agricultural use, evidenced by the extensive network of the Westside Main Canal, Foxglove Canal, and uniquely named features like the Forget-Me-Not Canal and Forget-Me-Not Drain. These artificial waterways contrast sharply with the natural, ephemeral flows of Coyote Wash and Yuha Wash. Historically significant transport lines are visible, notably the path of the Old Overland Stage Rte crossing the West Mesa in the northwest. In the southeast, a structured residential grid appears at Dixieland with named corridors such as Even Hewes Hwy and Magnolia Ave, providing a clear record of local infrastructure and land division in this corner of Imperial County.
