1951 Map of McCoy Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Palo Verde Mesa and its transition into the lower agricultural lands define this 1951 landscape near the Arizona border. This survey captures a moment when the regional infrastructure was expanding to support both aviation and irrigation, centered around the Blythe Airport and the emerging Palo Verde Valley. The arid terrain is carved by the ephemeral McCoy Wash, while man-made features like the Diversion Dike and a series of levees illustrate the ongoing efforts to manage desert runoff and protect the valley's developing farms.
