1956 Map of Valerie

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Torres Martinez Indian Reservation dominates this section of the Coachella Valley, where the desert floor meets the steep ascent of the Santa Rosa Mts. This landscape reveals a long history of human presence, from Early Indian Fish Traps and Petroglyphs near Toro Canyon to more modern settlements like Valerie and 100 Palms. The map documents a complex irrigation and drainage network essential for desert life, including a prominent Levee and the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several designated burial sites, including Toro Cem and the Martinez Cemetery. The northern boundary is defined by aviation and infrastructure, notably the Thermal Airport and numerous pipelines and pumping stations that supported the region's mid-century development.
