1970 Map of Needles SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Colorado River carves through the landscape where California and Arizona meet, defining the eastern edge of the Sacramento Mountains. During the early 1970s, this desert corridor served as a vital transportation artery, anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the modern path of Interstate 40. The map documents the persistent legacy of earlier routes, such as the National Old Trails Road, which once served as the primary highway for cross-country travelers.
