2021 Map of Salton

About this map

The Salton Sea dominates the expanse of this modern landscape, where the waters meet the low-lying reaches of the Imperial Valley. This digital-era survey documents the shoreline during a period of ongoing environmental shift, highlighting the proximity of human settlement to the receding water's edge at Salton and Salton Beach. Transportation in this desert basin is anchored by the corridor of Grapefruit Blvd and the utility of the Desert Air Sky Ranch Airport, which serves the local aviation needs of the northeastern shore. The boundary between Riverside Co and Imperial Co bisects the southern portion of the sheet, providing a precise geographic reference for property research and land management in this distinct arid region. Betz Beach remains a notable coastal landmark along the thin strip of developed land between the highway and the sea.
