About this map

The Gold Basin and White Hills of Mohave County define this high-desert landscape as it appeared in the mid-20th century. This area is characterized by a dense concentration of mining operations and remote ranching outposts. Hardrock and placer mining history is visible through features like the King Tut Placer Mine, Golden Gate Mine, and the Cyclopic (Site), while the agricultural footprint of the era is preserved at Burnt Mill Ranch and Valley Ranch. In the north, the waters of Lake Mead reach into Salt Spring Bay, contrasting with the arid terrain of Grapevine Mesa and the Grand Wash Cliffs. Essential water sources for the region's inhabitants and livestock are meticulously recorded, including Patterson Well, Iron Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring. Transportation across this challenging environment relied on the Pierce Ferry Road and numerous jeep trails connecting the scattered mines and ranch sites.
