1904 Map of Needles

USGS Topo · Published 1919

About this map

The Colorado River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this early 20th-century survey of the arid borderlands. The settlement of Needles marks a critical junction where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR crosses the water, supported by rail stops like Khartoum and Java. The map illustrates the complex hydrology of the Mohave Valley and its surrounding peaks, from the Dead Mountains to the distinctive spires of The Needles further south near Mohave Rock.
