1967 Map of Diamond Joe Peak

About this map

The Hualapai Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, defined by a series of prominent summits including Pine Peak, Burch Peak, and the namesake Diamond Joe Peak. The terrain is marked by deep drainage systems such as Crow Canyon and Deluge Wash, where water sources like Grapevine Spring and Chappo Spring provided critical resources in this arid environment. Human activity is evidenced by the industrial presence of the Leviathan Mine and scattered Prospects, alongside unnamed Ruins found near the junction of Cedar and Tompkins Canyon. Movement through this steep country relied on a network of a Jeep Trail and a Foot Trail, illustrating the remote and difficult nature of the region before modern infrastructure. This 1967 survey offers a detailed look at the transition from mining operations to backcountry wilderness in the Arizona interior.
