1955 Map of Red Bluff Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Kofa Game Range dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, where the jagged peaks of the Castle Dome Mts rise above the arid Dome Plain. This landscape reflects a period of intense federal land management and military activity, with the Yuma Test Station occupying a significant portion of the central desert floor. Grounded in the harsh geography of southwestern Arizona, the map reveals a network of Jeep Trails and isolated water sources like Dixon Spr and Salton Tanks that were vital for transit through the mountain passes. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Mohawk Valley, defined by the Mohawk Canal and the southern slopes of Red Bluff Mountain. Notable mining artifacts, including several Shafts and a Tunnel near Thumb Butte, point to the area's prospecting history, while numerous Observation Towers underscore the region's mid-century tactical importance.
