2014 Map of Mohave Mine

About this map

The Mohave Mine stands as a central industrial landmark within this arid landscape of Mohave County, positioned on the eastern slopes of the Black Mountains. The terrain transitions into the Mojave Desert to the west and is characterized by the prominent elevation of the White Hills to the northeast. Much of the northern and western sections of this area are managed as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, reflecting a landscape dedicated to both resource extraction and federally protected wilderness. The intermittent drainage of Jumbo Wash cuts through the northwest corner, illustrating the topographic patterns of this desert environment. This survey captures the intersection of mining history and conservation in a region defined by its extreme relief and complex geological features.
