1967 Map of Hibernia Peak

About this map

Hualapai Mountains terrain dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where high summits and deep drainage networks define the northern Arizona landscape. The map centers on the namesake Hibernia Peak, a prominent elevation overlooking a system of deep ravines including Hibernia Canyon and Bull Canyon. Evidence of early prospectors and mineral exploration is scattered across the slopes, noted by a Prospect and a Mine label near Orejano Peak. The desert environment is further characterized by its ephemeral water systems, where Wagon Wheel Wash, Blue Tank Wash, and Clipper Wash carry seasonal runoff through the highlands. A few reliable water sources are marked, such as Hair Spring and another Spring near Pilgrim Wash. The area is accessible only via a network of Jeep Trails, underscoring the remote and undeveloped nature of this portion of Mohave County during the late 1960s.
