1967 Map of Gunsight Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Big Sandy River defines the eastern edge of this Mohave County landscape, where the high desert terrain breaks into a network of steep canyons and washes. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a remote environment focused on livestock and water management, evidenced by features like the Corral, scattered Water Tanks, and a lone Spring. The topography is dominated by the prominent Gunsight formation, which feeds the drainage systems of Gunsight Canyon and Tompkins Canyon as they flow toward the river valley. Human activity is sparse and functional, primarily marked by a network of Jeep Trails and a single Prospect located near Deluge Wash. This sheet provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the eastern Big Sandy valley before modern developments, showing how land use followed the natural contours of the desert washes.
