The landscape around Blythe is a hot, irrigated stretch of the Palo Verde Valley beside the Colorado River, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The river marks California’s border with Arizona here and sustains fields that make agriculture central to this desert community. Blythe is also a practical stop on Interstate 10, the transcontinental route linking Southern California with Arizona and beyond. Nearby, the Blythe Intaglios—large figures traced into the desert surface—record Indigenous presence in the Colorado Desert.
