About this map

Mining operations and early transcontinental travel routes dominate this survey of the Arizona desert conducted in the late 1920s. The Palo Verde Mine and the Arizona-Yucca Mine are prominent fixtures within the Buck Mountains, representing the era's mineral extraction efforts in Mohave County. This landscape is a corridor for essential transportation, featuring the At & Sf railroad and the National Old Trails Highway, a predecessor to the famous Route 66.
