The Butterfield Stage Route traces a path through this desert landscape, following the southern edge of the Dome Valley where the Southern Pacific railroad also runs. The small settlement of Ligurta sits at the intersection of these transport corridors, anchored by the Gila River to the north. This 1960s survey illustrates a region defined by complex water management, featuring the Wellton Mohawk Canal, Dome Canal, and various siphons and flumes that support agriculture in the arid valley floor.
