1892 Map of Camp Mohave

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the central artery for this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance, carving through deep passages like Black Canyon and Pyramid Canyon as it defines the boundary between Arizona and Nevada. The landscape is dominated by stark mountain ranges including the Cerbat Mountains and the Opal Mountains, framing broad arid expanses such as Detrital Valley. Early mining and settlement activity is concentrated near the eastern range, where the town of Chloride sits nestled in the foothills.
