Description

Modern agriculture on the Colorado River dates back to 1909 and the opening of Laguna Diversion Dam, the first of many dams to be built on the river, which, on its lower reaches, forms the border between Arizona and California. Laguna diverted river water into the Yuma Main Canal. Beginning on the California side of the river, the canal carries water southwest to fields in Imperial County, California, and the Yuma Valley in Arizona.

Front of postcard reads, "Laguna Dam, California Side, Colorado River."
