1968 Map of Music Mountains SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Grand Wash Cliffs dominate this 1960s desert landscape, marking a sharp geological transition between the high plateaus and the lower basin. To the east, the Music Mountains and Black Mesa overlook the Hualapai Indian Reservation, while the western portion of the sheet opens into the wide Hualapai Valley. This era of the survey reveals a cattle-ranching landscape defined by remote outposts and vital water sources, including the Henifin Ranch and a series of scattered springs such as Kohinoor Spring, Coyote Spring, and Cedar Spring. The presence of several corrals, a Dry Well, and a Water Tank underscore the challenges of maintaining livestock in this arid environment. Significant Sand Dunes shift across the valley floor, crossed only by occasional Jeep Trails, illustrating the isolation of this corner of Mohave County during the late 1960s.
