1965 Map of Wellton

About this map

Wellton serves as the primary settlement and transit hub in this mid-century desert landscape, situated at the junction of agricultural life and industrial transport. The Southern Pacific railroad runs parallel to the Mohawk Canal, tracing the southern edge of a valley heavily defined by irrigation efforts. North of the town, the Gila River meanders toward the Dome Valley, bordered by a complex system of water management features including the Mohawk Main Channel and several siphons.
