Imperial Valley agriculture and military infrastructure dominate this 2018 survey of the California desert. The community of Seeley serves as a central hub, surrounded by an intricate network of irrigation features including the Westside Main Canal, Fillaree-Canal, and Fern Canal. This complex system of laterals and drains, such as Elder Thirteen Drain and Dixie Drain One, illustrates the intensive water management required to sustain farming in this arid landscape.
