About this map

The Salton Sea dominates this arid landscape, flanked by the intensive irrigation networks of the Imperial Valley to the south. In the early 1960s, the region was a complex patchwork of conservation, agriculture, and military testing. The Salton Sea Test Base sits on the southwestern shore, while vast swaths of the Chocolate Mountains are designated as the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range and the Camp Dunlap Artillery Range.
