About this map

The Colorado River carves through the heart of the Southwest in this 1926 survey, documenting the landscape immediately before the construction of Hoover Dam transformed the region forever. Several proposed locations for river management are noted, including the Boulder Canyon Dam Site, the Callville Dam Site, and the Upper Black Canyon Dam Site. These markers highlight a pivotal moment when federal and municipal agencies were actively engineering the river's future.
