1970 Map of Buck Mountains SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mohave Mountains and the northern slopes of Black Mountain dominate this arid landscape, where desert topography is defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources. Published in the early 1970s, the map reveals a remote region where survival and movement depended on a few critical points like Lower Well WT, Shot Up Tank, and Lower Tank. The presence of a Pipeline and scattered Jeep Trails cutting through the terrain suggests industrial or utility infrastructure encroaching on the high desert. Significant drainage basins, including the Dutch Flat Wash and Mohave Wash, illustrate the natural pathways through the foothills, while the Deer Canyon provides one of the few named topographical breaks in the western mountains. This survey serves as a precise record of the Mohave County desert before any significant modern development or expansion altered these traditional landmarks.
