About this map

The Colorado River and its intricate network of irrigation channels dominate this landscape on the California-Arizona border during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a massive engineering effort to harness the river, centered around the Palo Verde Dam and the Palo Verde Intake. From these points, a complex system of waterways including the Main Canal, Duplicate Canal, and various alphabetical branches like the A Canal and B Canal distribute water across the valley floor.
