The Colorado River carves a green corridor through the arid borderlands of California and Arizona in this mid-1960s survey. This specific stretch is defined by the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge and Picacho State Recreation Area, where the river's slow movement supports a network of backwater features like Adobe Lake, Nortons Lake, and Regan Slough. Unlike the open water of the main channel, these quiet basins reflect the complex hydrology of the lower Colorado.
