2011 Map of Yuma East

About this map

Prison Hill stands at the confluence of the Colorado River and the Gila River, marking a historic gateway where the city of Yuma transitions into the fertile agricultural lands of the South Gila Valley and North Gila Valley. This 2011 survey documents a landscape defined by intensive irrigation and transit, with the Yuma Main Canal and Canal B 5.5 E feeding the surrounding desert fields. The map captures the significant footprint of the Yuma International Airport and the Yuma County Fairgrounds, reflecting the city's role as a regional hub. Local cultural landmarks like the J C Silver Spur Rodeo Grounds and expansive burial sites including Yuma Cemetery and Desert Lawn Memorial Park provide deep detail for genealogists. The grid of Yuma Mesa shows the steady residential expansion southward, while smaller settlements such as Araby and Patio anchor the eastern and western peripheries.
