The flat, irrigated Imperial Valley defines the setting of Westmorland — a precise grid of roads, canals and crop fields shapes both its appearance and the rhythms of local work. In Imperial County, south of the Salton Sea, the town stands in a desert basin where irrigation supplied from the Colorado River supports intensive agriculture. Carrots are a local calling card, celebrated annually at the Westmorland Carrot Festival, a community tradition that distinguishes the city from the larger settlements of southeastern California. This is a working agricultural community, with desert horizons never far beyond the fields. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Imperial County.
