About this map

The Colorado River forms the vital boundary between California and Arizona on this mid-century sheet, defining a landscape shaped by massive irrigation efforts. In the Palo Verde Valley, a complex grid of waterways including the Main Canal, Duplicate Canal, and several lettered branches like A Canal and B Canal stretch across the desert floor. This infrastructure, supported by the Palo Verde Dam and Palo Verde Intake, transformed the arid terrain into a productive agricultural zone.
