1965 Map of Tacna

About this map

The Mohawk Valley defines this mid-century landscape where agricultural irrigation systems and military flight paths intersect. The Gila River meanders across the northern portion of the sheet, supported by an intricate network of water management features including the Wellton Mohawk Main Channel, the Mohawk Canal, and several large Siphons and flumes. These structures represent the post-war engineering efforts to reclaim the arid desert for cultivation, seen in the gridded fields south of the river.
