1892 Map of Camp Mohave

About this map

Camp Mohave and its adjacent U.S.Mil. Res. anchor the southern reaches of this late-19th-century reconnaissance, marking a critical military and transit point along the Colorado River. The map documents a landscape defined by the search for mineral wealth and the infrastructure of early westward expansion. To the east, the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad connects the growing settlement of Kingman with the outside world, while mining hubs like Chloride, Mineral Park, and Cerbat indicate the heavy prospecting activity in the Cerbat Mountains.
