1959 Map of Gene Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Parker Dam anchors this mid-century survey of the rugged border between California and Arizona, where the Colorado River widens into the lower reaches of Lake Havasu. The map documents critical infrastructure for regional water management, including the Colorado River Aqueduct and the massive Whipple Mtn Tunnel Colorado River Aqueduct cutting through the Whipple Mountains. These engineering feats are supported by the Gene Pumping Sta and reservoir system, highlighting the industrial transformation of the desert landscape during the post-war era.
