1927 Map of Kim

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the arid landscape of Yuma County, Arizona, anchoring the small stop of Kim near the northwestern edge of the range. Surveyed in 1927, this map reveals a desert environment where survival and travel were dictated by the placement of rare water sources like Pimoria Well, Garcia Well, and White Well. These wells served as vital waypoints for travelers navigating the San Cristobal Valley and the towering Mohawk Mountains, which dominate the central and southern portions of the sheet. Sparse desert tracks such as the Yuma-Gila Bend Road and Yager Road provide the only terrestrial links through this expanse. The presence of a large Unsurveyed Area in the west highlights the difficult, isolated nature of the terrain during the late 1920s, a time when much of the Sonoran Desert remained a frontier for mappers and travelers alike.
