1967 Map of Creamery Canyon

About this map

Hualapai Mts dominate the eastern landscape of this 1967 survey, where high-elevation drainage systems like Cottonwood Canyon and Creamery Canyon carve through the arid terrain. The map captures a critical water-management network essential for cattle and survival in the Arizona high desert, documented through features like Blue Mary Spring, Haystack Tank, and Cottonwood Spring. To the west, the topography softens into the broad expanse of Dutch Flat, where the Alamo Road and various unnamed jeep trails provided the primary means of traversal through the scrubland. This document preserves the mid-century layout of ranching infrastructure, marking several water tanks and cattle-related landmarks alongside seasonal watercourses such as Mackenzie Wash and Bar I-L Wash. The presence of a solitary Prospect near the mountain foothills hints at the region's mineral exploration history during this era.
