1927 Map of Buck Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Buck Mountains rise abruptly from the surrounding desert floor in this late 1920s topography, serving as a prominent landmark for early cross-country travelers. The presence of the National Old Trails Highway and the Yucca Cutoff illustrates the transition from pioneer wagon roads to early automobile transit through Mohave County. Mining activity is evident on the mountain flanks at the Palo Verde Mine and the Arizona-Yucca Mine, indicating the localized prospecting and extraction occurring in the region. To the west, the broad Sacramento Wash drainage parallels the tracks of the A T & S F railroad, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the wide expanse of Dutch Flat. This survey highlights the intersection of early industrial infrastructure and the high desert landscape, with much of the southern portion of the sheet remaining as a documented Unsurveyed Area at the time.
