1954 Map of Cane Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Black Rock Mountain and the Virgin Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain in Mohave County, where the Arizona Strip meets the Great Basin. This 1950s survey, published with cooperation from the Atomic Energy Commission, documents a landscape of essential water sources and specialized extraction. Reliable water points like Jacobs Well, Cottonwood Spring, and Cane Springs are critical landmarks across the arid topography. Industrial activity is noted at the Lime Kiln Mine and several other prospects, while the dramatic Grand Wash Cliffs drop away toward the south. The mapping of Twists Road and various jeep trails indicates the remote network required to reach these high peaks and deep canyons, including Jump Canyon and Hidden Canyon, before modern infrastructure transformed access to the region.
