About this map

The Tank Mountains and Palomas Mountains dominate this 1960s desert landscape, reflecting a remote region defined by military use and sparse water resources. A significant portion of the western territory is designated as the Yuma Proving Ground, where a network of trails and jeep paths crisscross the arid flats. This area, largely devoid of permanent settlements, highlights the critical importance of isolated water sources for early travel and survival, indicated by features like Snyders Well, White Tanks, and Jims Well.
