1970 Map of Buck Mountains SE

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Dutch Flat dominates the eastern expanse of this arid landscape, a broad desert plain marked by cattle tanks and infrastructure that define mid-century land use in Mohave County. In this 1970 survey, the region relies on isolated water sources such as Shot Up Tank, Lower Tank, and various unnamed water tanks to support life in the rain shadow of the surrounding peaks. The terrain is bifurcated by the massive ridges of the Mohave Mountains and Black Mountain, where deep drainage systems like Deer Canyon and Buck Mountain Wash carve through the high ground. Transportation and utilities are sparse, represented primarily by the unpaved Dutch Flat Road, numerous jeep trails, and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northeast. This map illustrates the transition from the high, craggy elevations of the Mohave range down to the sandy washes of Mohave Wash and Standard Wash.
