Two answer your question the Imperial Valley applies to a valley located fulley within American borders while the SSB would apply to the basin that encompasses both regions in Mexico and the US border area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoCal L.A.

Map request

It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality. Wikipedians in California may be able to help!

As you may have noticed i completely redid the whole article giving it categories images and new information. I made it at least 4 times as long. Hopefully more people can add to it though! SoCal L.A. (talk) 09:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Imperial Valley redirects to this page (Imperial Valley (California)). Because there seems to be no need for a disambiguous page, is it necessary to add the '(California)' to the article's title?
