1959 Map of Gene Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Parker Dam and the heavy engineering of the mid-century water system dominate this borderland landscape between California and Arizona. The map traces the massive infrastructure of the Colorado River Aqueduct, including several subterranean passages such as the Colorado River Tunnel and the Copper Basin Tunnel. These works are centered around the Gene Pumping Sta and the Whitset Intake, illustrating the complex movement of water through the Whipple Mountains to serve distant coastal basins.
