1933 Map of Cunningham Mtn

About this map

The Dome Rock Range dominates this 1933 survey, marking a rugged landscape of mineral exploration and transit along the Arizona-California border. In the northwest, the Colorado River Indian Reservation meets the river's edge near Goodman Slough, while a network of desert infrastructure supports the region's mining and travel. Early motorists navigated the Route No. 60 Sunkist Trail and the Parker Blythe Road, while prospectors worked claims such as the Darling Mine, Goodman Mine, and the Copper Bottom Mine. Strategic water points like La Paz Well and Gonzales Well were vital for survival in the arid terrain between the peaks and the La Posa Plain. This era represents the peak of desert trail reliance before modern highways fully transformed the Mojave and Sonoran transitions.
