To some folks, the scene from The Grapes of Wrath, at the old Route 66 Trails Arch Bridge, is forever linked to Topock, Arizona. To those in the know, however, the Topock area of the Colorado River is a destination for boating, off-roading and a multitude of year-round activities.

Born in 1883, as a settlement alongside the new wooden railroad bridge, Topock has been witness to millions of travelers crossing the river first by train and ferry, and then, beginning in 1916, by automobile. Located at the Arizona end of the, “Mother Road”, Topock has a long and storied history and a future full of promise.

The community name derives from the Mohave term for “bridge”. The latitude of Topock is 34.718N. The longitude is -114.486W. Located in the Mountain Standard time zone, elevation is 456 feet.
