USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Agua Caliente Indian Reservation dominates the desert floor in this late-1950s survey, illustrating a landscape of mid-century resort growth and irrigation infrastructure. The Coachella Valley appears in transition, with established nodes like Desert Hot Springs and Cathedral City neighboring traditional ranching outposts such as B Bar H Ranch and Fleming Ranch. The emergence of recreational land use is evident in the presence of the Tamarisk Country Club and a Drive-in Theater near the Whitewater River.
