El Salado, a alkaline flat at the south edge of the San Vicente Basin

El Salado, alkaline flat at the south edge of San Vicente Basin. Looking southwest toward the head of El Salado Cañon, which is one of the drainage outlets of the basin through the mountains to the sea. The marsh and salt grass flat merges without break into the head of the cañon. Note the sharpness of intersection of the plain and mountains.
