2021 Map of Gene Wash
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Parker Dam anchors this landscape at the confluence of the Colorado River and the borders of California and Arizona. The area is defined by massive water management infrastructure, including the Gene Wash Reservoir and Copper Basin Reservoir, which facilitate the Colorado River Aqueduct. Small settlements and recreation points like Black Meadow Landing and Parker Strip sit along the river's edge, while the interior is dominated by the steep rises of the Whipple Mountains and Aubrey Hills. Aviation and accessibility are represented by the Gene Wash Reservoir Airport and a network of desert roads including Trail End Camp Rd. The topography illustrates the complex desert geography of the Mojave Desert as it meets the riparian corridor of the lower Colorado.
