About this map

Havasu Valley and the surrounding desert terrain are the focal points of this 1970 landscape, where the arid environment meets modern development. In the southwestern corner, the planned residential streets of the Golden Shores area appear, featuring thoroughfares like Golden Shores Parkway and Casa Grande Drive. This community borders the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, which protects the wetlands and riparian habitat of Topock Marsh and the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation.

Evidence of historical infrastructure is visible through the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the southern portion of the map, while drainage patterns like Fivemile Wash and Warm Springs Wash define the topography of the northeast. Near the settlement of Topock, the presence of a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower points to the area's mid-century utility and regional importance along the river corridor.
