1965 Map of Mohawk Mts SW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Mohawk Mountains and the arid expanse of the Mohawk Valley dominate this landscape, which is largely defined by the boundaries of the Luke Air Force Range. The map reveals a remote desert environment where water and transport are the primary human concerns, represented by the ephemeral Mohawk Wash and the Mohawk Papago Well Road (Jeep) cutting across the basin. In the higher elevations, small-scale extraction is evidenced by mines and the unusual topographical feature of Glynns Falls. Large areas of shifting Sand Dunes emphasize the mobile nature of the terrain within this restricted military zone, showing the land as it was surveyed in the mid-1960s before modern infrastructure reached deep into this corner of the Yuma desert.
