1943 Map of Parker
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Colorado River serves as the dominant geographic and jurisdictional spine of this region, separating the sharp relief of the desert uplands from the flat alluvial lands of the Colorado River Indian Reservation. Centered on the town of Parker, the map illustrates a vital transportation node during the Second World War, where the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix R. R. crosses the water. To the south, the settlement of Agency and the riverfront point at Doyles Landing mark the early development of the reservation lands. The survey also traces significant surveying markers, including the San Bernardino Base Line and the county boundary between Yuma County and its northern neighbors, providing a detailed look at the rural landscape and rail stop at Denny before the extensive modern expansion of the Lower Colorado region.
