1965 Map of Picacho SW

About this map

The Colorado River snakes along the boundary between Imperial Co and Yuma Co, defining the arid borderlands between California and Arizona in the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates the river's dynamic hydrological environment, where the main channel is flanked by a complex network of backwaters like Adobe Lake, Nortons Lake, and Taylor Lake. The transition between the Picacho State Recreation Area and the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge marks a landscape of preservation and rugged isolation.
