1965 Map of Fortuna

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Redondo Ruins (Butterfield Stage Sta) stand as a sentinel of frontier transit history in this mid-1960s survey of the Arizona desert. The landscape is defined by the sharp division between the irrigated agriculture of the North Gila Valley and South Gila Valley and the arid expanse of the Yuma Desert. A complex network of water management features, including the Gila Gravity Main Canal and the Wellton-Mohawk Canal, sustains the valley, while the southern reaches transition into vast military reservations such as the Luke Air Force Range and the Yuma Proving Ground. Transportation history is visible through the path of the Southern Pacific railroad and the Camino Del Diablo, an ancient trail slicing through the foothills of the Gila Mountains.
