2018 Map of Mohave Mine

About this map

Mohave Mine sits within the eastern reaches of the Black Mountains, marking a point of historic extraction in this corner of the Mojave Desert. This 2018 survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and dry drainage systems, most notably Jumbo Wash, which cuts across the northern terrain. The northwestern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, reflecting the transition from desert mining interests to federally protected conservation and recreation lands. The map detail highlights a network of local roads and 4WD tracks that navigate the complex topography, providing a precise look at how the land is accessed in modern times while still preserving the footprints of its industrial past.
