1965 Map of Texas Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Texas Hill rises above the arid lowlands of Yuma County, serving as a prominent landmark in a landscape defined by the erratic course of the Gila River. In the mid-1960s, this desert region relied heavily on water management infrastructure, evidenced by the Texas Hill Canal and numerous wells scattered across the flats. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Southern Pacific rail line, which supported small sidings like Stoval near the edge of the Luke Air Force Range. South of the river, the vast expanse of the San Cristobal Valley and the San Cristobal Wash illustrate the natural drainage patterns of the Sonoran Desert. Industrial activity is localized but present, with a Gravel Pit and Sandpit indicating the extraction of river-deposited materials to support regional development and the maintenance of the nearby transportation corridor.
