1992 Map of Wiest

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The settlement of Wiest sits at the heart of an meticulously engineered irrigation landscape in Imperial County, California. This 1990s revision reflects decades of agricultural development, where a grid of alphabetized and botanical-named canals like Nectarine Lateral, Narcissus Lateral, and Munyon Lateral distribute water across the desert floor. The Alamo River meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, providing a sharp contrast to the rigid linear patterns of the surrounding crop fields and drainage ditches. Recreation and conservation are anchored by the Imperial State Wildlife Area (Finney-Ramer Unit), which encompasses Finney Lake and Sheldon Pond, while the Wiest Lake County Park offers a concentrated hub of local activity centered around Wiest Lake. The map reveals the intricate water management system essential for this region's productivity, from the Vail Supply Canal to smaller works like the Mulberry Drain.
