2015 Map of Seeley

About this map

The Imperial Valley landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure surrounding the settlements of Seeley and Edgar. This complex system of water management, vital for agriculture in this desert region, is represented by numerous named features such as the Westside Main Canal, Fillaree Canal, and Forget-Me-Not Canal. The New River winds through the center of the terrain, while the extensive El Centro Naval Air Facility occupies a significant portion of the eastern landscape, complete with its runways and support buildings. The map provides a look at the precise layout of local roads like Huff Rd and Silsbee Rd, alongside more idiosyncratic features like the Wormwood Drain and Salt Cr Slough. This detailed spatial record of the California borderlands reflects the region's total reliance on water engineering to sustain both military operations and local communities.
