1965 Map of Wellton Mesa

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors this survey of the Arizona desert as it appeared in the mid-1960s, with revisions extending into the early 1980s. Small rail-side points like Asher and Noah mark the transport-heavy landscape of the Mohawk Valley, while the elevated Wellton Mesa rises to the south. The complex irrigation network of the Mohawk Canal and the Wellton Mohawk Main Channel illustrates the transformation of this arid environment into a managed agricultural zone. To the north, the Gila River meanders past the Radium Hot Springs (Site), a historical landmark of early desert travel.
