1926 Map of Nelson
USGS Topo · Published 1926About this map
The Nelson settlement and the winding Eldorado Canyon define this 1926 topography of the Nevada-Arizona border. Surveyed by the City of Los Angeles just before the major dam projects of the 1930s transformed the region, this sheet provides a rare look at the original course of the Colorado River before inundation. The terrain is dominated by the Eldorado Mountains, showing the stark elevation changes between the desert peaks and the riverbed.
