From public records
Flood, slope, fire, faults and climate.
Checked against public maps and records in November 2026.
Flood
Outside the mapped flood areas
FEMA’s flood map puts the whole parcel in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. The nearest mapped Zone A areas, the 1-in-100-year floodplain, are about a third of a mile northwest of the parcel and a little over half a mile east. Imperial County’s current flood map took effect Sept. 26, 2008. FEMA flood map for this spot →

Elevation & slope
A gentle slope: about a 2.5% grade
About 19 ft above sea level at the center. The ground rises gently toward the northeast, about 48 ft from the southwest corner to the northeast corner, an average grade of about 2.5%. A few small washes cross the north end. Over a 100-ft building pad, that’s 2 to 3 ft of fall to level.

Wildfire
Not in a mapped fire hazard zone
CAL FIRE maps the whole parcel as a Federal Responsibility Area, where federal agencies have primary responsibility for wildfire protection, so the State Fire Marshal’s fire hazard maps, which cover state and local areas, don’t rate it. The neighboring land on the west and south is rated Moderate, the lowest of three classes (Moderate, High, Very High). The nearest fire station, in Calipatria, is about 9 miles away by road.

Earthquake faults
Not in an earthquake fault zone
The parcel is outside California’s Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones; the nearest zone, along the Brawley fault, is about 14 miles southwest. The Imperial fault, one of the state’s major active faults, runs about 16 miles southwest, and the USGS maps smaller unnamed faults about 4 miles southeast. Like all of Southern California, this is earthquake country.

Getting there
Gas and groceries about 9 miles away
Out the dirt road on the south line, then Bowles and Wiest Roads into Calipatria, about 9 miles, for gas, a grocery store, a fire station and a small airport. Brawley, about 21 miles, has more stores and the nearest emergency room, at Pioneers Memorial Hospital. Distances are by road.

Summer highs average 108°F in July and August, with about 120 days a year at 100°F or more. Winters are mild: December and January lows average about 41°F, with frost about six nights a year.

What eighty acres can be
A landmark you can see from miles off.
The palms are California fan palms (Washingtonia filifera), the only palm native to California: the big, shaggy desert palms of the old oases around Palm Springs and Anza-Borrego.
A private oasis
A place of your own under the palms, with open desert beyond.
Conservation and habitat
Native palms, desert woodland and wildlife in one block. Land like this can interest conservation buyers and habitat programs.
These are possibilities, not promises: each depends on access, water and county approval.
