1968 Map of Bottleneck Wash

About this map

Kabba Mine sits as a lonely industrial marker in this arid reach of Mohave County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of desert drainages. The mapping, based on 1960s aerial photography with late-1970s updates, reveals a region organized around sparse water sources and ranching outposts. Cattle operations are anchored by sites such as Round Valley Ranch and Windmill Ranch, which relied on a system of improved water features like Government Tank and Timber Antelope Well to survive the harsh environment.
