USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Colorado River and Gila River meet near the growing desert hub of Yuma, defining a complex borderland where Arizona, California, and Mexico converge. This 1940 survey illustrates an intensive irrigation network essential to the region's agricultural development, featuring the Alamo Canal, Main Canal, and West Main Canal which transformed the arid floor of the Yuma Desert. To the west, the Inter-California route and Southern Pacific railroad underscore the area's importance as a transportation corridor.
