1986 Map of Blythe
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The Colorado River serves as the central artery and state boundary for this mid-1980s landscape, dividing the agricultural vitality of California from the arid reaches of Arizona. In the Palo Verde Valley, a complex network of features like the Main Drain, Lateral Drain, and Levee demonstrate the intensive irrigation required to sustain the communities of Blythe, East Blythe, and Ripley. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor cuts through the Palo Verde Mesa, connecting the valley to the remote settlement of Midland in the north.
