1952 Map of Yuma West

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Colorado River water management dominates this borderlands landscape, where the Yuma Indian Reservation meets the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The complex hydraulic engineering of the era is evident in the All American Canal, the Morelos Dam, and numerous control points like Hanlon Heading and Rockwood Heading. These systems transformed the arid terrain around Yuma into an agricultural grid, supported by the Main Canal and Reservation Main Canal.
