1968 Map of Mt. Tipton NW

About this map

The high desert landscape of Mohave County is defined here by the meeting of the Cerbat Mountains and the northern reach of the White Hills. This 1968 survey details a region where water management was the primary infrastructure of the range, evidenced by numerous named catchment points such as Miller Tank, Filaree Tank, and Black Mesa Tank. The map shows a transition from high plateau terrain to the broad Hualapai Valley, with ranching history etched into the land at sites like Archibald Corral. Transportation through this arid corridor relied on established routes like Pierce Ferry Road and Stockton Hill Road, which provided essential links across the desert floor toward the distant Colorado River crossings.
