About this map

Mining operations and critical water sources define this high-desert landscape in Mohave County. In the north, the Peacock Mountains are dotted with several mineral extractions, including the North Hackberry Mine, Sunshine Mine, and Hackberry Mine. These sites are supported by a network of essential water points like Mine Spring and Willow Spring, which are vital for industry and livestock in an arid environment.

Transport through the region is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts through the northwest corner toward the expansive Hualapai Valley. To the south, the terrain rises toward Peacock Peak, where the map records a sparse infrastructure of a Jeep Trail, remote corrals, and various improvements such as Five Wells and Trap Spring. This survey documents a working landscape of ranching and mining that relied heavily on these scattered mountain springs.
