1893 Map of Saint Thomas

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

Saint Thomas and its surrounding settlements along the Muddy River and Virgin River valley represent a pivotal frontier landscape in this 1893 survey of Southern Nevada. The map captures a pre-reservoir era along the Colorado River, detailing historic river crossings like Stone Ferry and Scanlon Ferry. This river network was critical to regional movement, as evidenced by the Old California Trail winding through the Muddy Mountains and past Old California Crossing. Evidence of early industry and habitation is scattered across the arid terrain, including a Salt Mine and several early townsites such as Saint Joseph, Old Overton, and Old Callville. Grounded in the work of the Powell Survey, the map provides an essential look at the geography of Lincoln and Mohave counties before modern water management transformed the valley.
