About this map

Crozier stands as a lonely point of interest in this arid Mohave County landscape, situated along the Alamo Road as it cuts across the high desert. The terrain is dominated by the McCracken Mountains to the east and the broad expanse of Dutch Flat to the west. This 1967 field survey illustrates a sparsely developed region where life and travel were dictated by water sources like Stouts Well and the occasional Water Tank.

A network of Jeep Trails and a significant Pipeline trace the movement of resources through the mountain passes. The presence of a Corral and several locations marked simply as Mine or Prospect indicate the ranching and extraction efforts that characterized the local economy during the late 1960s. The map provides a precise look at the land use and topography before modern desert development expanded further into these interior ranges.
