1965 Map of Salton Sea

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Salton Sea dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, surrounded by mid-century infrastructure like the Salton Sea Test Base and the Naval Reservation. The landscape is a study in desert reclamation and water management, featuring the All American Canal and the Coachella Branch feeding agricultural centers like Calipatria and Westmorland. The Colorado River forms the eastern boundary, where the town of Blythe serves as a hub for the fertile Palo Verde valley, adjacent to the Colorado River Indian Reservation.
