1954 Map of Big Maria Mts NE

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the focal point of this 1954 survey, defining the border between California and Arizona. The eastern bank is dominated by the Colorado River Indian Reservation and the fertile Parker Valley, while the western landscape is shaped by the desert peaks of the Riverside Mountains and the Big Maria Mountains. A small settlement at Water Wheel Camp marks a point of human activity along the river's edge, reflecting the mid-century river-focused recreation and residency in this arid region.
