In the autumn of 1904, the river's waters escaped into a diversion canal a few miles below Yuma. The river, taking the canal as a new channel, re-created in California a great inland sea in a area that it had frequently inundated before, for example, in 1884 and 1891, when it had for a time practically abandoned its former course through Mexican territory to the Sea of Cortez.
