About this map

Hualapai Mountains terrain dominates this mid-century survey of Mohave County, where high peaks like Hibernia Peak and Orejano Peak define the desert skyline. The landscape is carved by a network of drainage washes and canyons that illustrate the complex hydrology of the region before any major modern development. Watercourses such as Cedar Wash, Blue Tank Wash, and Left Hand Moss Wash branch across the north, while the southern reaches are marked by Clipper Wash and Pilgrim Wash.

Evidence of early exploration and mineral interest is scattered throughout the canyons. Local history researchers will find several unnamed Mine and Prospect sites marked on the slopes, particularly near Bull Canyon. The presence of these small-scale excavations alongside named features like Wagon Wheel Wash and Hibernia Canyon suggests a period of active prospecting in these remote Mohave ranges, preserved here as it appeared in the late 1960s.
