1955 Map of Laguna

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Martinez and the riverfront landings along the Colorado River define this desert landscape during the mid-1950s. The survey captures a period of significant water management and military activity, with the terrain north of the Gila Mountains dominated by the Yuma Test Station. Along the river, localized settlements like Fisher Landing and Castle Dome Landing highlight the importance of water access for transportation and early habitation in this arid region. The map reflects a landscape in transition, where established river landings met the expansion of post-war military infrastructure. This documentation is grounded in 1953 aerial photography and field checks from 1955, providing a clear record of the roads, landing strips, and desert tracks that connected these remote points before more modern development altered the river's character.
