1965 Map of Yuma West

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Fort Yuma Indian Reservation and the burgeoning city of Yuma dominate this mid-1960s landscape, where the Colorado River serves as both a border and a vital resource. The map reveals an intricate hydraulic network essential for desert agriculture, including the Alamo Canal, Main Canal, and numerous lateral drains like the Miller Drain. Historic transportation and utility corridors are evident through the Southern Pacific railroad and landmarks such as the Old Araz Stage Depot and the Pilot Knob Hydro-electric Plant. Within the city, localized history is preserved through named schools like Pecan Grove Sch and Kofa High Sch. The presence of the U S Marine Corps Air Station and the University of Arizona Agricultural Experiment Sta highlights the region's importance for both military aviation and arid-land research during this era.
