1965 Map of Yuma East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Colorado River and Gila River converge in this mid-century portrait of a desert hub where California and Arizona meet. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of water and transport, from the Main Canal and South Gila Canal feeding the South Gila Valley to the Southern Pacific railroad lines. Urban expansion in Yuma is evident near the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park and the Courthouse, while the southern reaches are dominated by the US Marine Corps Air Station and Yuma International Airport. Cultural landmarks like the St Thomas Yuma Indian Mission and several local schools, including Ham School and Rolle Sch, provide a detailed view of the community's mid-twentieth-century development before further desert urbanization.
