1911 Map of Parker

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the central artery for this early 20th-century borderlands survey, defining the boundary between Arizona and California. The settlement at Parker sits at the junction of the Santa Fe Prescott and Phoenix RR and the river, near the Agency and the southern reaches of the Chemehuevi Valley Indian Reservation. The landscape is a mix of alluvial flats and high desert peaks, where the presence of numerous landings like Eagle Landing, Doyles Landing, and Liverpool Landing highlights the river's role as a primary transportation corridor before the era of major dams.
