Page of article describing the formation of the Salton Trough and the Salton Sea, 1952

Description:
Photograph of an article page (2nd page of 3) with geological illustrations and text describing changes to the Colorado Desert area and the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the creation of the Salton Sink (Salton Trough). Text below illustrations at left: “Gulf of California once filled today’s Salton Sink area. We’ve made these charts to serve as a geological guide for visitors to the Salton Sea and the whole Colorado Desert area, We based them on the most widely accepted theory of the area’s evolution: Several hundred million years ago the Gulf of California extended north as far as San Gorgonio Pass. The Colorado River dumped into the gulf about where Yuma is today, gradually building a huge delta westward from its mouth.” [Text at right:] “In later prehistoric age, silt dam cut off gulf from Salton Sink area. As the silt piled up, it finally formed an earth dam which cut the Gulf of California in two and left an orphan salt water lake in the north. With no water to replace that lost by evaporation, the lake dried up-leaving an arid, 1,000-foot-deep basin which has been named the Salton Sink. (From Yuma to its mouth, the Colorado falls about 140 feet; the drop from Yuma to the Salton Sea is nearly 400 feet. Thus the next series of changes.)” Publication unidentified. Article dated February 1952, reprint date unknown.

Description:
P. H. Philbin, of Chicago, a former owner of the Sorrento Beach Club building, had planned a 12-story apartment building on the site in 1953.

The project was controversial, as some property owners felt that it would mar the beauty of the Santa Monica Palisades Park. Philbin may have had this image taken to document the Palisades area near the Sorrento Beach Club.
