1892 Map of Diamond Creek

About this map

The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad cuts a critical path through this high desert territory, linking remote outposts and fueling the growth of late 19th-century Mohave. This era of western expansion is defined by the logistics of water and transport, with the rail line following the contours of Yampai Canyon and passing through critical stops like Peach Spring, Truxton, and Hackberry. To the south, Cottonwood Station and Camp Willow Grove mark significant waypoints in a landscape of massive escarpments including the Cottonwood Cliffs and Grand Wash Cliffs.
