1956 Map of Needles

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the vital boundary and lifeblood of this desert region, winding through the Chemehuevi Valley and supporting the vast Lake Havasu reservoir. This mid-century landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the desert-spanning routes of U.S. 66 and U.S. 95. The map records a network of sidings and small settlements like Goffs, Essex, and Vidal, many established to serve the rail lines and water management systems.
