About this map

The Sacramento Valley floor meets the rising western slopes of the Hualapai Mountains in this desert landscape east of the Colorado River. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as the primary artery through the valley, paralleled by a corridor of development near the settlement of Griffith. Water sources are the critical defining element for human activity here, evidenced by numerous Water Tanks, Dry Wells, and named springs such as Boulder Spring and Lookout Spring. The mountainous terrain is etched with drainage systems like Black Rock Canyon and Shingle Wash. Resource extraction is noted at the Holy Moses Mine, while a network of jeep trails and pipelines indicates the ongoing utility and exploration of this arid region during the late 1960s and 1970s.
