About this map

Hayfield Valley serves as a stark desert corridor defined by industrial infrastructure and significant water management systems. The Colorado River Aqueduct traverses the landscape, accompanied by a distinctive Road On Levee that skirts the southern edge of the Eagle Mountains. This region represents a critical mid-century utility artery where water, power, and transport converge in the arid basin of Lake Chuckwalla.

Evidence of resource extraction and rugged navigation is scattered throughout the terrain, from numerous Prospects and a Borrow Pit to the Eagle Mountain Railroad line. Notable landmarks such as Necessity and several water sources like Hayfield Spring and the Hayfield Summit Spring (Dry) provide points of interest for those studying the remote industrial history and topography of the Orocopia Mountains and Chuckwalla Mts.
