1968 Map of Red Lake

About this map

Red Lake dominates this arid landscape within the broader Hualapai Valley (Depression), where the flat basin floor meets the rising slopes of the Cerbat Mountains. Photogrammetric methods from 1967 reveal a terrain shaped by water management in a desert environment, evidenced by a network of isolated water sources such as Valley Tank, Lake Tank, and Well Tank. This era of the valley is defined by sparse infrastructure, with Stockton Hill Road providing the primary north-south transit route while various unnamed roads and a Jeep Trail branch into the mountain foothills. The presence of specialized ranching or livestock infrastructure, including Corner Tank and North Tank, highlights the land use patterns typical of Mohave County before modern expansion altered these remote reaches.
