About this map

The Black Mountains dominate this 1967 survey of Arizona's high desert, revealing a landscape defined by mining history and rugged terrain. Mining heritage is central to the area, evidenced by the Goldroad Mine, Black Eagle Mine, and the Gold Trail Mine, along with various Tailings and unnamed Mines. These operations are clustered near the historic Sitgreaves Pass and the settlement at Eds Camp, illustrating the localized mineral boom that shaped this portion of Mohave County.

Natural landmarks like Mount Nutt, Thimble Mtn, and the distinctive Elephants Tooth provide dramatic vertical relief against the eastern expanse of the Sacramento Valley. Water, a critical resource in this environment, is marked at numerous points including Dripping Spring, Walker Springs, and Silver Creek. A network of Jeep Trails and a Pack Trail connect these remote sites, while the Tri-State Viewpoint offers a designated vista over the transition from the mountains to the valley floor.
