1957 Map of Plaster City

About this map

Industrial development and desert infrastructure define this 1950s landscape in Imperial County. The company town of Plaster City serves as a focal point, dominated by a large Gypsum Plant and its supporting Mining Railroad that stretches northward into the desert. To the east, the settlement of Dixieland marks the transition into an irrigated agricultural zone, where a network of water features including the Foxglove Canal, Dixie Drain, and the poetically named Forget-Me-Not Canal bring life to the arid terrain.
