1956 Map of Salton

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Salton Sea dominates this mid-century survey, its shoreline defined by a series of beaches and infrastructure projects from the mid-1950s. Most of the land area shown is contained within the Torres Martinez Indian Reservation, while the northeastern edge of the water is bordered by the Salton Sea State Park. The landscape reflects a specific era of desert development, where the Southern Pacific railroad line runs parallel to the shore, supporting localized activity at Salton and nearby Salton Beach.
