1989 Map of Meadview South

About this map

Grapevine Mesa dominates this desert landscape in Mohave County, where the settlement of Meadview sits at the edge of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by prospecting and resource extraction, particularly concentrated in the western foothills. Numerous mining operations are identified, including the Climax Mine, King Tut Mine, and Lone Jack Mine, alongside countless unnamed mines, adits, and prospects. This 1980s data reflects a period of continued interest in the region's mineral potential and its growing role as a gateway to the recreational waters of Mead Lake. Transportation is defined by the Pearce Ferry Road and a network of 4 WD tracks that navigate the terrain between Grapevine Wash and the high mesa, while scattered ranching infrastructure like the Grapevine Windmill and various corrals indicate a multi-use desert economy.
