1955 Map of Imperial Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Colorado River forms a dynamic border between Arizona and California in this mid-century survey, dominated by the engineered hydrology of the Imperial Reservoir and Imperial Dam Spillway 181. This map documents a landscape defined by the convergence of massive federal irrigation projects and military utility, where the Gila Main Canal and Settling Tanks demonstrate the intensive management of river water for desert agriculture.
