1983 Map of Aztec Mines

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Aztec Mines and an adjacent Prospect serve as focal points of activity within the arid landscape of the Chuckwalla Mountains during the early 1980s. This survey illustrates a topography defined by drainage patterns, where ephemeral watercourses like Ship Creek and numerous areas marked Dry Wash or Sand Wash cut through the terrain toward the Chuckwalla Valley. The map records a transition from traditional land uses to modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of a Double Wood Pole Powerline cutting across the northeast corner and a system of a Ditch and Dike managing runoff. Water remains a critical and scarce resource in this environment, with Chuckwalla Springs located near the southern boundary, providing a vital fixed point for mineral exploration and desert transit.
