About this map

The Colorado River serves as the primary boundary and lifeline in this 1943 military survey, winding through the sharp relief of the desert landscape. Originally prepared under the direction of the Commanding General for the California-Arizona Maneuver Area, this map details the critical water sources and transition points along the river valley during World War II. It highlights the Chemehuevi Valley Indian Reservation and various river-adjacent sites such as Liverpool Landing and Pittsburg Flat. Away from the riverbank, the presence of West Well, Whipple Well, and Chambers Well underscores the importance of groundwater in the high desert. The terrain is dominated by the peaks and washes leading toward Monument Peak, reflecting a landscape used for large-scale military training exercises during the era.
