Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The transformation of the Sonoran Desert landscape is highlighted through the historical efforts of early pioneers who, inspired by the Hohokam's irrigation techniques, diverted the Agua Fria River to create Lake Pleasant. Central to this monumental reclamation project was William H. Beardsley, whose vision led to the construction of the Pleasant Dam, completed in 1927. The park now boasts over 20,000 acres of water for recreational activities, alongside extensive camping facilities, showcasing a blend of history and outdoor adventure.
