1886 Map of Mt. Trumbull

USGS Topo · Published 1886

About this map

Pierce Ferry serves as a vital river crossing point in this late nineteenth-century mapping of Mohave County, situated where the Colorado River turns southward. The landscape is defined by massive topographic shifts, from the depths of the Grand Canyon to the heights of the Uinkaret Plateau and the Shiwits Plateau. This survey, conducted by the Powell Survey, emphasizes the critical importance of water sources in an arid environment, meticulously documenting isolated locations like Witches Pool, Pakoon Spring, and Trumbull Spring. The arrangement of these springs and the primitive route at Beaver Dam reflect the early corridors of travel and survival before modern infrastructure reached the Arizona Strip. High peaks such as Mt Trumbull and Mt Logan stand as navigational landmarks above the dramatic drop-offs of the Hurricane Cliffs and Grand Wash Cliffs.
