Yuma sits at a critical geographic junction where the Colorado River and Gila River converge near the California and Arizona border. The landscape is defined by the intricate irrigation network essential to the region, featuring the Yuma Main Canal, S Gila Valley Main Canal, and numerous lateral branches like the B 3.7 Lateral that carve through the South Gila Valley. This 2014 survey documents the modern footprint of the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station/Yuma International Airport, which occupies a significant portion of the southern quadrant near Yuma Mesa. Landmarks such as Prison Hill and Yuma Mineral Spring provide historical context to the river’s edge, while the city's growth is mapped through neighborhoods like El Prado Estates and Araby, alongside the Yuma City Cem and Desert Lawn Memorial Park.
