1956 Map of Truckhaven

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The arid shoreline of the Salton Sea dominates this mid-century survey of Imperial County, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal desert drainages and specialized government activity. At the time of this 1956 study, the sea level was recorded at 235 feet below sea level, creating a vast alluvial expanse where numerous washes like Palm Wash, Arroyo Salada, and Tule Wash fan out toward the water. The small settlement of Truckhaven serves as a primary reference point along the highway, while the presence of the Salton Sea Test Base suggests the area's strategic importance during the Cold War era.
