1965 Map of Kofa

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Yuma Proving Ground dominates this 1965 survey, illustrating a desert landscape defined by military utility and topographic isolation. The Southern Pacific railroad line cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary transit corridor near the small settlement of Kofa. The terrain transitions from the stark elevation of the Palomas Mts in the northeast to broad alluvial plains marked by several wells and a Water Tank. A network of unimproved dirt roads and a Jeep Trail provide the only access through this arid environment, highlighting the area's sparse development during the mid-1960s. This survey records the intersection of high-desert geography with the technical requirements of the Department of the Interior and military infrastructure at the height of the Cold War era.
