About this map

The Colorado River winds through the heart of this mid-century survey, defining the border between Imperial County, California, and Yuma County, Arizona. This section of the river valley is largely occupied by the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge, where the main channel is flanked by a complex network of backwaters including Adobe Lake, Taylor Lake, and Nortons Lake. The map identifies several historical occupation sites along the riverbanks, notably Nortons Landing, Nommel Place, and Hoge Ranch.
