1959 Map of Parker Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Havasu Lake dominates the center of this desert landscape, where the Colorado River was transformed by the engineering of the Parker Dam. This survey documents a critical junction of Western water infrastructure, showing the Colorado River Aqueduct intake at the Whitset Intake and its passage through the Whipple Mtn Tunnel. The map illustrates the complex management of this arid environment during the late 1950s, featuring the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge alongside active technical sites like the Parker Dam Powerplant and Gene Pumping Sta. Away from the water, the terrain is marked by remnants of resource extraction, such as the El Campo Mine and Manitowoc Mine in the northern reaches, while remote river access points like Black Meadow Landing and Larned Landing anchor the shoreline at the base of the Whipple Mountains.
