1968 Map of Mt. Tipton SE

About this map

The Cerbat Mountains dominate the southwestern corner of this Arizona landscape, dropping sharply into the broad, arid expanse of the Hualapai Valley (Depression). Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, where seasonal waters carve through Cane Spring Wash, Twentysix Wash, and Truxton Wash. These desert washes radiate from the mountain foothills toward the low-lying valley center, illustrating the hydraulic character of the Mohave desert floor. Human presence is marked primarily by infrastructure for livestock and travel. Stockton Hill Road winds through the foothills, connecting various water sources critical to the region, including Big Well, Canyon Tank, and White Tank. This network of tanks and wells underscores the historical reliance on scattered water points for ranching and transit across this portion of the Cerbat range.
