1964 Map of Araz

About this map

The Fort Yuma Indian Reservation dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, defined by a dense network of irrigation laterals and canals. The engineering of the All American Canal and the Yuma Main Canal transformed this arid region, supported by infrastructure like the Pilot Knob Substation and several Gaging Stations. Evidence of earlier eras remains in the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cutting across the desert floor and the identified Araz (Site) near the Southern Pacific railroad tracks.
