1955 Map of Dome

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Gila River flows through the southern portion of this desert landscape, its course managed by the Dome Levee and a network of canals. The small settlement of Dome sits at the foot of the Muggins Mesa, marking a historic transit point where the Southern Pacific railroad parallels the ancient path of the Butterfield Stage Route. To the north, the vast Castle Dome Plain is characterized by numerous drainage systems such as Castle Dome Wash and Vinegarroon Wash, leading toward the military boundaries of the Yuma Test Station. The topography transitions from the alluvial plains into the high relief of the Muggins Mountains, where landmarks like Klothos Temple dominate the horizon. This mid-century survey captures the region's reliance on water management and transportation corridors in a challenging environment.
