About this map

The Colorado River Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through this desert landscape in the early 1970s, separating the eastern flats from the rising terrain of the Dome Rock Mountains. This area is defined by its arid hydrology and mining history, with Kaiser Wash and Tyson Wash draining the expansive La Posa Plain. Industrial activity is evident through numerous prospects and specific sites like the Valenzuella Mine, while the isolated Grave south of the mine and the Kaiser Waterhole near Copper Peak highlight the challenges of life and labor in this remote section of La Paz County. The presence of a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigating between these scattered resource extraction points and the jagged peaks that dominate the western half of the survey.
