If the State of Montana hadn’t already taken the motto “Big Sky Country,” it would certainly be fitting for the community of Oasis. Stretching several miles between the majestic Santa Rosa Mountains on the west and the Salton Sea on the east, from the community of Vista Santa Rosa to the Imperial County line, Oasis is a vast agricultural, ahem, oasis. A new elementary school is in the works, but even bigger things are on the horizon. Oasis lays claim to some very significant historical resources in the “fish traps” used by the first residents of the area, and the etched-in-stone shoreline of the ancient Lake Cahuilla.
