About this map

The settlement of Seeley sits at the heart of an intricate irrigation network in the Imperial Valley, where the engineered landscape meets the winding path of the New River. This 2012 survey illustrates the high density of water management infrastructure required for desert agriculture, dominated by the Westside Main Canal, Elder Canal, and Fern Canal. To the north and west of the town center, the terrain is partitioned by a grid of named lateral drains and canals, including the Salt Cr Slough and Bullhead Slough, which weave through the agricultural blocks.

Directly east of Seeley, the El Centro Naval Air Facility and El Centro NAF Airport define a large portion of the landscape, showing the military's significant footprint in the region. Near the southern edge of town, Sunbeam Lake provides a rare open water feature amidst the surrounding fields and desert. The map also identifies the smaller settlement of Edgar to the west, situated along the Salt Creek Drain Two near the intersection of the local canal systems.
