1950 Map of Davis Dam
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Davis Dam serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, capturing the Colorado River at a critical moment of engineering transformation. The map shows the blue hatching of the Lake Mohave reservoir, indicating the area destined for submergence as waters rose behind the new dam. This hydraulic change is contrasted by the preservation of older historical layers along the riverbanks, including the Fort Mohave (Ruins) and the Mohave City (Site) within the Fort Mohave Indian Reservation.
