1965 Map of Agua Caliente

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Agua Caliente sits at the base of the Agua Caliente Mountains, marking a transition between the northern high ground and the broad desert basins of the Hyder Valley and Park Valley. The Gila River winds through the center of the sheet, its path mirrored by a series of drainage systems like Northbusch Wash and Columbus Wash. This 1960s survey illustrates a landscape defined by water management and transit, where Layton Well and several unnamed wells are vital markers in an arid environment. Near the settlement, a small Cem and multiple Gravel Pit sites indicate early community infrastructure and local extraction. Significant landmarks like Sears Pt overlook the Sentinel Plain, while the boundary between Yuma and Maricopa Counties splits the survey, documenting the administrative divisions of the Arizona desert during this era of post-war development.
