1956 Map of Valerie

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Torres Martinez Indian Reservation occupies much of this landscape, where the arid valley floor meets the steep eastern slopes of the Santa Rosa Mountains. This mid-century survey records a desert environment being shaped by water management and cultural heritage, most notably at the Early Indian Fish Traps and nearby Petroglyphs situated along the mountain base. These archaeological markers sit just above the former shoreline of ancient Lake Cahuilla, contrasting with the modern irrigation efforts indicated by the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and numerous grid-aligned agricultural plots.
