1967 Map of Mount Nutt

About this map

The Black Mountains dominate this 1960s desert landscape, revealing a history of hard-rock mining and travel through the Mohave high country. The iconic Goldroad Mine and Black Eagle Mine stand as primary evidence of the region's mineral industry, accompanied by Tailings and the nearby Goldroad Well. Transportation routes are defined by the geography, including the climb to Sitgreaves Pass and the Tri-State Viewpoint, while a Jeep Trail and Pack Trail suggest more remote access through the canyons. Water, always critical in this environment, is marked at numerous points like Little Meadows, Twin Springs, and Silver Creek. The settlement of Eds Camp sits near the base of the mountains, positioned where the rugged terrain meets the opening of the Sacramento Valley. Notable landmarks like Elephants Tooth and Mount Nutt provide orientation points across this complex of ridges and washes.
