1971 Map of Grand Gulch Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Grand Gulch Mine and Savanic Mine anchor this high-desert mining landscape, showing the industrial footprint in Mohave County during the early 1970s. Located along the Grand Gulch Bench, the area is defined by a network of drainage systems including Grand Gulch Wash, Gyp Wash, and Pigeon Wash. The presence of the Landing Strip near the mining operations suggests the logistical challenges of this isolated terrain, where transportation relied heavily on a series of Jeep Trails and more primitive Trails weaving through the Cliffs. Water management is represented by small, vital features like Squaw Tank and Eds Pond, while the Cunningham Mine in Cunningham Canyon further illustrates the mineral extraction history that shaped this corner of Arizona. The survey precisely documents the elevation changes from the bench down into the North Fork Pigeon Canyon.
