1967 Map of Grasshopper Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Grasshopper Junction sits at a critical desert crossroads in northwestern Arizona during the late 1960s, serving as a hub where the slopes of the Cerbat Mts meet the expansive Detrital Valley. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Putman Wash and Big Wash cutting through the arid terrain toward the south. Water management was clearly the priority for inhabitants of this era, evidenced by numerous Water Tanks and Corrals scattered across the range to support ranching operations. The eastern portion of the sheet rises sharply into the mountains, punctuated by Quail Spring and Sugarloaf Mountain. Signs of mineral exploration appear in the southwest, where a Prospect and area of Tailings suggest the persistent search for ore in the Mojave Desert. Transportation relies on the established Cottonwood Road and various unnamed tracks that navigate the valley floor.
