1990 Map of Alamo Dam

About this map

Alamo Dam regulates the desert landscape at the confluence of the Bill Williams River and the canyon drainage systems of the Rawhide Mountains. This 1990 edition highlights the recreational infrastructure of Alamo Lake State Park, including several campgrounds, a picnic area, and Cholla Road leading to the water's edge. Beyond the shoreline, the map reveals a history of resource extraction, with numerous prospects, an adit, and a mine shaft scattered through the arid foothills. The terrain is defined by complex arroyo networks such as Bullard Wash and Spenser Wash that cut through the Buckskin Mountains, illustrating the dramatic drainage patterns of western Arizona. Evidence of modern infrastructure is seen in the transmission line and radio towers that cross this isolated region.
