Imperial County

The terrain of Imperial County ranges from irrigated farmland in the Imperial Valley to dry desert plains and rugged ranges on its outer edges, creating a county defined by both intensive agriculture and extreme aridity. The Salton Sea lies at its northern end, while the Colorado River traces much of the eastern border with Arizona. Water diverted from the Colorado underpins the valley’s fields, a defining fact of settlement and local economy. On the southern frontier, Calexico forms a continuous binational urban area with Mexicali, Mexico, bringing border trade and Mexican-American life into everyday focus.
