1892 Map of Camp Mohave

USGS Topo · Published 1896

About this map

Camp Mohave and the military reservation anchor the southern reaches of the Colorado River in this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river corridor through Pyramid Canyon and Black Canyon to the broad expanses of the Detrital Valley and Sacramento Valley. Mining interests are prominent on the eastern slopes of the mountains, with settlements like Mineral Park, Chloride, and Cerbat serving as hubs for local industry. The importance of river crossings is highlighted by Eldorado Ferry, while the arrival of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad near Drake signaled the shifting transportation patterns of the era. Numerous springs, such as Beale Spring and Forlorn Hope Spring, dot the arid terrain, marking essential water stops along the Kingman Road and historical trails crossing the Arizona Nevada Boundary Line.
