About this map

Colorado River navigation and desert hydrology define this 1950s era survey of the borderlands between Arizona and Nevada. The river corridor is a series of named water hazards, including Ringbolt Rapids and Roaring Rapids, highlighting the river's character before modern management. The settlement at Willow Beach serves as a primary human outpost, complete with a Fish Hatchery and Campground.
