About this map

Gadsden and the northern reaches of San Luis occupy a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation channels and agricultural roads just north of the Mexican border. This desert region relies on a complex system of waterways, including Peach Canal, Adams Lateral, and Horn Lateral, to support farming in the arid Yuma Desert. The grid-like arrangement of roads such as Farm Rd and Steamboat St reflects a highly organized land-use pattern typical of late-twentieth-century reclamation projects.

The international boundary between the United States and Mexico runs along the western edge of the settled areas, where the terrain shifts from irrigated fields to the open desert flats. Local infrastructure is further detailed through specific routes like Sality Canal Rd and Bia Rd 6, providing a clear record of the transport and water management systems that sustain these communities in Yuma County.
