2021 Map of Yuma SE

About this map

Agricultural irrigation infrastructure dominates this corner of Yuma County, where a complex network of channels including the A Canal and B Main Lateral supports the local landscape. The map reveals the rigid grid of the American West, defined by numbered roads like E Co 14 1/2 St and E Co 19th St that intersect with lateral water lines such as the A 8.4 Lateral. To the east, the structured farmland gives way to the expansive Yuma Desert, illustrating the stark boundary between managed irrigation and the natural arid environment. This 2021 survey provides researchers with a modern view of the persistent intersection between large-scale water engineering and desert geography southeast of Yuma.
