1956 Map of Needles

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Colorado River carves a critical corridor through the arid landscape of the Mojave Desert, anchoring the border between California and Arizona. Along this waterway, the Needles settlement serves as a vital transit hub, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad meets the river. To the south, the massive engineering of Parker Dam creates the Parker Dam Reservoir and Havasu Lake, providing the water essential for regional development.
