Palo Verde and the surrounding agricultural landscape define this section of the lower Colorado River valley at the border of California and Arizona. The map illustrates a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure essential to the region's desert farming, including the C-03 Canal, Rannels Drain, and Norton Drain. These water systems crisscross the Palo Verde Valley, creating a managed grid of fertile land set against the natural features of the Palo Verde Mesa and the Palo Verde Mountains.
