1989 Map of Mount Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Mount Wilson dominates the high desert landscape in this late-twentieth-century topographical study, serving as a prominent anchor for the long spine of Wilson Ridge. This arid environment in Northwest Arizona is defined by the contrast between high peaks and the broad, low expanse of the Detrital Valley to the east. Within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, evidence of resource extraction and water management appears in the form of the Two B's Mine and Cruick Dam, showing how the land was utilized during the mid-to-late 1900s. The presence of Temple Bar Road and an Overlook suggests the area's transition into a destination for managed recreation and sightseeing, while the drainage of Detrital Wash remains a central geological feature of the valley floor.
