1968 Map of Rattlesnake Hill

About this map

The transition from the Hualapai Valley into the northern reaches of the Hualapai Mountains defines this 1968 landscape in Mohave County. In the north, the infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and the Kingman Airport highlights the region's transport importance, while the southern terrain is marked by rugged drainage systems like Sawmill Canyon and Frees Wash. Ranching life is documented through scattered holdings such as the Lazy Yu Ranch, Shock Spring Ranch, and Getz Ranch, many of which relied on localized water sources like Berry Tank and various named springs and wells. The map also captures the early boundary of the Hualapai Mtn County Park, providing a detailed look at the interface between Mohave's high desert plains and its mountain recreation areas.
