Imperial Valley agriculture defines this landscape in the late 2010s, showing an intricate grid of irrigation infrastructure that sustains the desert region. The Alamo River and New River meander through a highly engineered environment of drains and laterals, including the Vail Canal, Vail Supply Canal, and Rockwood Drain. These water systems connect several named settlements and agricultural hubs, from the larger centers of Calipatria in the north and Brawley in the south to smaller locales like Verdant, Fondo, and Rockwood.
