1955 Map of Tortuga

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Southern Pacific Railroad corridor through the Imperial Valley desert serves as the primary artery for the small siding of Tortuga. This mid-century landscape is defined by the stark contrast between the arid East Mesa and the vital water infrastructure of the Coachella Canal and East Highline Canal. The industrial and military footprint of the era is evident in the sprawling Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range, which occupies the rugged terrain to the north and east.
