1942 Map of Blythe
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Military mobilization and agricultural industry define this desert landscape along the Colorado River during the early 1940s. The map documents the presence of the Camp Poston Japanese Relocation Camp on the Arizona side of the river, while the California side reveals the infrastructure of the Army Air Base and the Martin Air Academy near Blythe. This area was a critical training ground for the War Department, evidenced by the Army Bombing Range and multiple Possible Camouflage Areas scattered across the Chuckwalla Valley and Dome Rock Mountains.
