1965 Map of Fortuna SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Luke Air Force Range dominates this mid-1960s landscape, illustrating a vast expanse of the Yuma Desert dedicated to military training and testing. The map is marked by specialized infrastructure, including an Arena and several locations designated simply as Target, reflecting the region's mid-century role in aerial and ground maneuver practice. The terrain is largely defined by open desert floor, where traditional roads are absent in favor of a network of primitive routes. The historic Camino Del Diablo crosses the northeastern corner, accompanied by various Jeep Trails that suggest a landscape primarily accessible to rugged vehicles and military personnel. This survey preserves a specific moment in the administrative management of the Arizona borderlands, where the arid environment provided an ideal isolated corridor for defense operations.
