About this map

Parker and Earp flank the Colorado River in this 1970 snapshot, marking a critical crossing point on the border between California and Arizona. The town of Parker serves as a hub for the Colorado River Indian Reservation, with the Colorado River Indian Agency Headquarters and the Tribes Administration Center established as central landmarks. To the west, the Wyatt Earp House stands as a testament to the region’s frontier legacy. The landscape is defined by the massive Colorado River Aqueduct and the Headgate Rock Dam, which creates Moovalya Lake. Transportation and industry are well-represented by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, the Parker Municipal Airport, and several extraction sites like the Blue Cloud Mine and various borrow pits.
