1929 Map of Buck Mountains

About this map

Mining operations and early motor routes define this desert landscape surveyed during the late 1920s. The Palo Verde Mine and Arizona-Yucca Mine are positioned on the southern slopes of the Buck Mountains, illustrating the era's industrial activity in Mohave County. In the north, the National Old Trails Highway runs parallel to the At & SF tracks, serving as a primary corridor for transcontinental travel before the advent of the modern interstate system.
