1904 Map of Needles

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Colorado River carves a complex path through the desert borderlands in this 1904 survey, defining the boundary between San Bernardino County, California, and Mohave County, Arizona. At the heart of the map, the town of Needles serves as a critical junction where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad crosses the river. The survey reveals a landscape of braiding channels and ephemeral waters, including Spears Lake, Willow Pond, and Mud Lake, much of which falls within the Mohave Indian Reservation.
