1956 Map of Wiest

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Alamo River snakes through this Imperial County landscape, defining a complex irrigation network essential to mid-century California agriculture. This 1956 survey illustrates a strictly engineered environment where named lateral drains and canals, such as the Vail Supply Canal and Magnolia Lateral Drain, create a geometric grid across the desert floor. Small settlements and transit points like Wiest, Munyon, and Butters are situated along the Southern Pacific rail line and primary thoroughfares like Wiest Road.
