1968 Map of Mt. Tipton NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Pierce Ferry Road cuts a long diagonal through this desert landscape, linking the high terrain of the White Hills and Table Mountain Plateau with the low-lying Hualapai Valley. This 1968 field check reveals a ranching and water-management network essential for survival in Mohave County. Ranching infrastructure is scattered across the dry basins, including the Archibald Corral and Corral WT, alongside a series of catchment features like Black Mesa Tank, Miller Tank, and Barksdale Tank. In the southeast, the rugged ascent into the Cerbat Mountains is marked by a Jeep Trail and a single Drill Hole, suggesting the early stages of mineral exploration or water surveying. The map effectively captures the isolated nature of the Arizona desert before modern expansion, where life was defined by the proximity to water tanks and the reliability of primitive roads.
