1980 Map of Cedar Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Aquarius Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where water sources dictated the patterns of ranching and movement. The map records a network of vital springs such as Cottonwood Spring, Sam Spring, and Blue Spring that supported seasonal activity. Cattle ranching infrastructure is evident through numerous scattered labels for corral sites and family-named landmarks like Sunburn Windmill and High-Lonesome Windmill. To the south, the terrain levels out onto the expansive Goodwin Mesa and drops away at the Aquarius Cliffs. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the Cedar Basin Camp, while evidence of mineral exploration appears in the form of several isolated prospects. The presence of a jeep trail and pack trail suggests the limited accessibility of the canyons and washes, including Bull Canyon and Boner Canyon, which carve through the volcanic and sedimentary geology of the range.
