1970 Map of Buck Mountains

About this map

Palo Verde Mine and the Ideal Mine represent the industrial footprint in this arid Mohave County corridor during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the heavy drainage systems of Sacramento Wash and Franconia Wash, which cut through the high desert toward the Buck Mountains. Transport infrastructure is prominent, showing the transition from early motorized travel to modern utility, featuring the historic route of the Old National Trails Road alongside the At & Sf railroad and a major cross-country Pipeline. Further south, the Arizona Yucca Mine and scattered infrastructure like a Water Tank and Well indicate the logistical challenges of resource extraction in the desert. The presence of a Jeep Trail and various unpaved tracks suggests a region primarily accessed for mining and utility maintenance rather than permanent settlement.
