1892 Map of Camp Mohave

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

The Colorado River defines the wild frontier character of this late-nineteenth-century survey, carving through the Black Canyon and Pyramid Canyon to separate Arizona from Nevada and California. This era finds the region at a crossroads of military presence and mining extraction, anchored by Camp Mohave and the Fort Mohave Ind Res near the southern bend. To the east, the Cerbat Mountains are dotted with high-desert settlements like Chloride, Mineral Park, and Stockton, reflecting the mineral rush of the Gold Basin. Transportation depends heavily on water and rail, with the Eldorado Ferry providing a rare river crossing while the A T and S F R R skirts the Sacramento Valley, connecting Kingman to the wider territory. The landscape is a network of vital water sources, from Beale Spring to Coyote Holes, which supported travelers and prospectors navigating the vast basins between Mt Tipton and the Dead Mountains.
