1954 Map of Big Maria Mts NE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the primary artery through this desert landscape, delineating the California-Arizona boundary and the division between Riverside and Yuma counties. Along the western bank, the Big Maria Mountains dominate the terrain, rising to prominent landmarks like Quien Sabe Point and VABM 2258 Quien Sabe. The map illustrates the river’s complex path before modern channelization, featuring numerous bends and riverfront sites such as Water Wheel Camp and Hall Island. Drainage systems like Big Maria Wash and Slaughter Tree Wash illustrate the arid hydrology of the region, while the Colorado River Indian Reservation Boundary marks the eastern portion of the sheet within Parker Valley. This 1954 field survey records the isolated desert camps and early roadside navigation of Highway 95 during a period of shifting river boundaries.
