2021 Map of Plaster City NW

About this map

Old Overland Stage Rte crosses the southern edge of this landscape, tracing a historical transportation corridor through the arid lowlands of Imperial County. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition between the Fish Creek Mountains and the broad expanse of the Lower Borrego Valley to the north. In the west, Barrett Canyon cuts into the mountain range, while the central portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling drainage of Carrizo Wash, which meanders south across the desert floor toward the West Mesa. The map illustrates a stark, open environment where natural watercourses and historical transit routes dictate the movement of people and resources across the basin and range province.
