1926 Map of Mohave City

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

The Colorado River defines the rugged eastern boundary of this mid-1920s topography, serving as the interface between the high desert of Nevada and the Arizona territory. Before the massive water projects of the later 20th century, this reach of the river was characterized by natural features like Post House Rapids and the marshy Cottonwood area. Near the river's bend, the Mohave Indian Reservation occupies the Mohave Valley floor, while to the west, the arid Piute Valley stretches toward the Piute Range. Mineral exploration and early desert ranching drive the sparse settlement pattern, with numerous mining claims such as Newberry, Beatty, and Gus located in the foothills. The town of Searchlight serves as a primary hub in the north, connected southward by the early automotive route of the Arrowhead Trail. Local family landmarks like the D Hutton Ranch and V. Schmidt E. Lat. provide essential genealogical reference points for this era.
