About this map

Hualapai Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where the infrastructure of the late 1960s meets long-standing ranching and rail interests. The Kingman Airport serves as a major focal point, complete with its Radio Facility, Beacon, and nearby Sewage Disposal plant. This aviation hub is situated just north of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, which runs diagonally through the valley near the small settlement of Berry.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and ranching life is found in labels like Long Mountain Ranch and the distribution of water sources such as Fence Line Tank and Field Tank. The map also captures the early street grid south of the airport, including Thompson Avenue and Northern Avenue, while Walapai stands to the northeast. These features together show a valley transitioning from a remote ranching territory to a more developed transportation and utility corridor.
