About this map

Peacock Mountains and the northern reaches of the Hualapai Mountains frame this Mohave County landscape during the late 1960s. The arid basin of the Hualapai Valley is defined by a utilitarian infrastructure of several pipelines and a prominent Airway Beacon, marking the era's navigational and resource needs. The terrain is marked by a legacy of mineral exploration, evidenced by the Enterprise Mine, Century Mine, and Frost Mine, alongside numerous unnamed prospects.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this high desert environment, with named locations like Hualapai Spring, Burn Spring, and the evocatively named Lion Kill Spring providing critical points for early travelers and cattlemen. A network of pack trails and jeep trails connects these springs and mines, weaving through Hualapai Canyon and across McGarrys Wash, illustrating the transition from traditional prospecting to modern mechanized access.
