1955 Map of Growler

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Southern Pacific railroad tracks and the Mohawk Canal cut through this arid Yuma County landscape, defining the mid-century infrastructure of the Mohawk Valley. The small settlement of Growler and the nearby Norton (Site) sit along these transport lines, representing the sparse habitation in a region otherwise dominated by geography and military utility. To the north, the Yuma Test Station boundary encompasses prominent terrain such as Signal Butte and several quarries, indicating the area's role in government operations. The southern portion of the map is dramatically constrained by the Mohawk Mts, where steep elevation rises sharply from the valley floor. This survey documents the intersection of essential water management and transit routes before the intensification of modern desert development.
