1952 Map of Yuma East

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Colorado River and Gila River converge in this 1952 study, illustrating the complex irrigation and transportation history of the Arizona-California border. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of waterways including the Main Canal, B Canal, and the Yuma Indian Reservation Canal, which support agriculture in the North Gila Valley and South Gila Valley. The map highlights the area's transition from frontier transit to a modern aviation and rail hub. Historical markers such as the Gila Center (Old Stagecoach Station) and the Butterfield Stage Line Probable Route trace the path of early westward travel, while the Southern Pacific railroad and Yuma County Airport represent the era's mid-century infrastructure. Urban Yuma is visible with its Prison Museum, City Cemetery, and numerous local schools, providing a detailed look at the community's civic footprint.
