1942 Map of Camp Mohave

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the central artery of this 1942 War Department survey, dividing the high desert reaches of Nevada and Arizona just before the mid-century's rapid transformations. This edition details the vital transportation corridors of the era, including the Union Pacific tracks near Boulder City and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe line connecting Kingman and McConnico. Mining history is etched into the landscape at sites like Goldroad, Oatman, and Chloride, while the riverbanks host the Fort Mohave Indian Reservation and the site of Mohave City. The map documents a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the Eldorado Mountains in the west to the Cerbat Mountains in the east, where Mt Tipton stands as a prominent landmark for surveyors and travelers alike.
