1929 Map of Laguna

About this map

The Colorado River and Gila River meet in a landscape defined by desert mining and early river management. This survey highlights the Silver District and the Old Senator Mine, reflecting the mineral-driven development that once centered on Castle Dome Landing. The confluence serves as a hydraulic hub, featuring the Laguna Dam and the noted Location Imperial Dam, critical points in the reclamation efforts of the era. South of these works, the Southern Pacific railroad follows the Gila's course through Dome, connecting the river economy to broader western markets. The terrain is dominated by the Middle Mountains, Laguna Mountains, and Muggins Mountains, with infrastructure like the Yuma Quartzsite Road and a local Ferry providing the few traversable routes through the arid desert.
