About this map

Bill Williams River meanders through the desert landscape of the Mohave Co Yuma Co border, providing a critical water source for the isolated homesteads and wildlife of this arid region. The mid-century environment is defined by the expanse of Havasu Lake and the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, where the river meets the reservoir. Ranching life is documented through established sites like Kohen Ranch and the Ramon Esquerra Ranch near the mouth of Mineral Wash, with a small Cem nearby suggesting a permanent family presence on the land.
