1965 Map of Bard

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Colorado River defines the border between California and Arizona on this survey, which captures the complex irrigation and desert landscape near the Gila River confluence. The Fort Yuma Indian Reservation occupies much of the terrain, where a rigid grid of streets from 2D Street up to 11th Street serves the small agricultural community of Bard. Vital water infrastructure is heavily documented, including the All American Canal, Main Canal, and Laguna Canal, which transformed this arid environment into productive land. To the north, the landscape shifts toward the Picacho Recreation Lands and the Yuma Proving Ground, where the Three C Mine and various prospects indicate the region's mineral history. Near the river, local landmarks like the Potholes Cem and Haughtelin Lake offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying this borderland.
