Victor Narrows and Mojave River Irrigation Scheme
A historical note describes the Mojave River headwaters in the San Bernardino range and a proposed irrigation plan. By filling a low dam at Victor narrows, a river reach two feet deep could flood six by twelve miles of land, transforming desert acres near Los Flores ranch into fertile fields, with Santa Fe Railroad access. The idea envisions diverting water to hydrate vast lands beyond the narrows, revitalizing agriculture along the Mojave corridor.
