1967 Map of Dutch Flat SW

About this map

Dutch Flat dominates this desert landscape in Mohave County, where the dry topography is defined by a sparse but vital network of water and infrastructure. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the map reveals a remote area managed by the Pipeline that cuts across the western and southern sections of the quadrangle. Significant for land management and ranching history, the map documents the locations of essential water sources like the Water Tank and Township Tank, which served as critical landmarks for local travel and livestock. The area is crisscrossed by a Jeep Trail, indicating the rugged, utilitarian nature of transit across this part of the Arizona desert during the late twentieth century. These features, though few, provide a focused look at how the arid terrain was navigated and utilized before modern developments altered the character of the region.
