1970 Map of Havasu Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Chemehuevi Indian Reservation lands dominate this 1970 desert landscape along the Colorado River at the California-Arizona border. The settlement of Havasu Lake serves as a focal point for recreation and local life, featuring a Marina, Picnic Area, and a Trailer Park. The topography is defined by the broad Chemehuevi Valley and the drainage of Chemehuevi Wash, which cuts through the arid terrain toward the reservoir. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the map reveals the region's resource-driven history through several prospects and a mine, while the Havasu Lake Road and various Jeep Trails provide the only access into the backcountry. The map also records an indefinite boundary for the reservation, reflecting the ongoing complexities of land management and tribal sovereignty in the late twentieth century.
