1954 Map of Big Maria Mts NE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the central artery and boundary of this desert landscape, where the jagged heights of the Big Maria Mountains and Riverside Mountains give way to the fertile expanse of the Parker Valley. This 1950s era documentation highlights the early development of the Colorado River Indian Reservation along the river's eastern banks. Small outposts like Water Wheel Camp and the riparian environment of Hall Island provide evidence of human activity along the water's edge, while the arid interior is defined by massive drainage systems like Big Wash and Slaughter Tree Wash. High survey points such as Quien Sabe Point and VABM 1258 Quien Sabe stand as landmarks for early travelers navigating the Old Blythe-Vidal Road.
