About this map

Kingman Airport and the expansive Hualapai Valley define this late-1960s landscape, illustrating the intersection of transportation and ranching in Mohave County. The map documents the vital Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor as it cuts through the valley floor, connecting the settlement of Berry with the various districts of Walapai. These communities are shown alongside critical infrastructure like a Radio Facility, a Sewage Disposal site, and the local Fire Station, providing a detailed look at the area's mid-century development.

Rural land use is evident through scattered landmarks such as Long Mountain Ranch and remote water sources like Fence Line Tank and Field Tank. The drainage of Frees Wash meanders across the eastern portion of the sheet, while residential and service grids are emerging along Thompson Avenue and Northern Avenue. The inclusion of 1980 photorevisions helps track physical changes to the airport facilities and surrounding structures over a decade of growth.
