2012 Map of Truckhaven

About this map

Salton City stands at the western edge of the Salton Sea, defined by an extensive grid of residential streets that speak to mid-century development ambitions in the Imperial Valley desert. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape where planned infrastructure meets the arid reality of the basin, with many thoroughfares like Annapolis Ave and Bering Blvd extending into the surrounding desert. The map captures the specialized land use of the era, including the Salton Sea Test Base B-1 and Salton Sea Base B-2, alongside recreational markers like the Salton Golf Course. Natural drainage features, characterized by numerous desert washes such as Arroyo Salada, Iberia Wash, and Coral Wash, crisscross the area, emphasizing the hydrological challenges of the terrain. The presence of Truckhaven near Anza Ditch further identifies local landmarks significant to the region's geography and history.
