The Colorado River defines the border between California and Arizona in this arid riverine landscape, where the fertile Cibola Valley sits in contrast to the high desert terrain. The river is flanked by several backwater features, including Three Finger Lake, Walker Lake, and Draper Lake, illustrating the shifting course and ecological complexity of the lower Colorado. Human activity is centered around the river corridor at Paymaster Landing and Walter's Camp Airport, which provide access to this remote stretch of the valley.
