1967 Map of Gunsight Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Big Sandy River cuts through the eastern edge of this landscape, defining a low-lying valley that contrasts with the intricate drainage networks to the west. This 1960s topographic survey illustrates an arid environment where water management is critical for land use, evidenced by scattered Water Tanks and a solitary Corral positioned near the basin floor. The terrain is dominated by deep seasonal channels, most notably Gunsight Canyon and Tompkins Canyon, which drain the elevated western interior toward the river. Resource extraction and movement are marked by a Prospect and a Borrow Pit, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the complex washes. The mapping of Crow Canyon Wash and Deluge Wash highlights the natural corridors that historically dictated travel and ranching patterns in this section of Mohave County.
