About this map

The Big Maria Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, looking down upon the intensive irrigation efforts of the Palo Verde Valley. Life here is defined by the proximity of the Colorado River, which forms the twisting eastern boundary between California and Arizona. A complex network of water management features, including the Main Canal, Pumping Sta, and various siphons, illustrates the mid-century transformation of the desert into productive agricultural land.
