1970 Map of Needles NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Dead Mountains dominate the western landscape of this desert corridor, casting long shadows toward the Mohave Valley and the Colorado River. This survey captures the complex boundary history of the tristate area, specifically noted by the Von Schmidt Line 1872 and the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation lands. Along the river's edge, small outposts like Soto Ranch and the Walters Ranch Landing Field indicate the sparse but vital human presence in the valley.
