2018 Map of Yuma West

About this map

The Colorado River defines this landscape near the international border, where the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos boundary meets the complex irrigation and drainage systems of the valley. Centered on Yuma, Arizona, the map reveals a highly structured agricultural and residential grid south of the river, supported by an extensive network of waterways including the Main Outlet Drain, Cooper Lateral, and Central Canal. These features demonstrate the intensive water management necessary for the region's productivity, with residential clusters such as Donovan Estates and Padre Ranchitos filling the spaces between larger municipal and military footprints like the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station/Yuma International Airport. In the northwest, Pilot Knob and Pilot Knob Mesa provide a contrast to the flat valley floor, while infrastructure like the Rockwood Heading and Steam rail line underscore the area's role as a transportation and water-control hub.
