About this map

The Hualapai Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in Mohave County, where mining activity and remote ranching outposts are scattered across complex terrain. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map identifies several distinct mining operations, including the Standard Mineral Mine to the north and the Gold King Mine tucked into the southern drainages. These sites, along with the Democrat Mine and Musa Giant Mine, reflect the region's long history of mineral exploration.

Resource management for livestock and recreation is evident through named water features like the Bottleneck Windmill, Stokes Well, and the Wheeler Tank. The Hualapai Mountain County Park provides a recreational anchor near Pine Lake, while private holdings like Odie Ranch and landmarks such as New Years Cabin Spring mark the thin human footprint in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage systems, from Antelope Wash to Moss Wash, which carve through the slopes of Dean Peak.
