1968 Map of Horse Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Hualapai Indian Reservation occupies the majority of this high-plateau landscape in Mohave County, where the desert terrain is defined by isolated water sources and sharp geological transitions. In the late 1960s, this area functioned as a remote range land, evidenced by the presence of a Ranger Cabin and numerous tanks and wells like Corral Dry Well and Smith Tank. The northeastern corner of the map reveals the steep descent into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the drainage of Clay Creek and Lost Creek cuts through the canyon walls. Primitive transport is a central theme, with the Buck and Doe Road and Springs Road providing the primary access through the Horse Flat region. This survey captures a moment before modern development, where survival in the arid environment relied on named landmarks like Reference Point and a network of ephemeral water catches.
