2018 Map of Westmorland West

About this map

Imperial Valley agricultural infrastructure dominates this landscape south of the Salton Sea. The area is defined by a dense, engineered network of water management features, including the Main Canal, Vail Canal, and an extensive system of numbered drains and laterals. These features, such as Trifolium Lateral Fourteen and Vail Seven Drain, facilitate the intensive cultivation of this desert basin. The settlement of Westmorland appears in the eastern portion of the map, situated at the intersection of local routes like Howenstein RD and Griswold RD. The New River meanders through the northern reaches toward the sea, while the western edge of the survey reveals the transition from irrigated fields to the more arid terrain surrounding the Trifolium Extension. This map captures a highly modified landscape where irrigation engineering allows for the existence of communities like Fondo in a naturally water-scarce environment.
