About this map

Parker Dam serves as the focal point for this desert landscape, where the Colorado River is harnessed for power and water distribution. The industrial infrastructure of the era is prominent, featuring the Whitsett Intake and the Gene Pumping Sta, which drive water into the Colorado River Aqueduct. This massive engineering project cuts through the terrain via the Copper Basin Tunnel and Whipple Mtn Tunnel, connecting the Copper Basin Reservoir to the broader regional network.
