1951 Map of Cibola
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Colorado River carves a complex path through this 1951 study, defining the boundary between California and Arizona and sustaining the Cibola Flood Plain. This desert river landscape is characterized by its agricultural irrigation network, including the Palo Verde Canal and Palo Verde Drain, which support the settlement of Palo Verde and nearby Rannells (Site). The map captures a moment when the river's influence was heavily managed but still prone to shifting, as evidenced by remnant oxbows and backwaters like Davis Lake and Three Fingers Lake.
