Somerton serves as the focal point of this agricultural corridor in southern Yuma County, surrounded by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the desert valley. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear grid of laterals and drains, including the Somerton Lateral and Bondesson Lateral, which divert water to sustain the surrounding fields. The influence of the Colorado River's floodplain is evident in the presence of the Yuma Indian Homesteads and the sprawling water management system of the Main Drain and Central Canal.
