1904 Map of Needles

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Colorado River carves a dramatic path through the desert borderlands on this early 20th-century survey, dividing San Bernardino Co, California, from Mohave Co, Arizona. The town of Needles serves as the regional hub, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR meets the river. This rail line is the area's primary artery, connecting remote stops like Java, Beal, and Franconia. South of Needles, the river enters the narrow Mohave Canyon and passes The Needles rock formations before broadening into the Chemehuevi Valley.
