1965 Map of Cibola

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s survey of the border region between Arizona and California. Centered on the community of Cibola, the landscape is defined by the expansive Cibola National Wildlife Refuge, where the river's path is flanked by intricate water management features like the Palo Verde Canal and Drain. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands of Three Finger Lake and Davis Lake to the rising elevations of the Palo Verde Mountains in the west and the Trigo Mountains in the east.
