1950 Map of Sawtooth Range

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Sawtooth Range and the Chemehuevi Mountains dominate this 1950 survey of the California-Arizona borderlands. Centered on the arid expanse of the Chemehuevi Valley, the map details a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and the essential flow of the Colorado River. Along the eastern margin, the Havasu Lake reservoir is visible within the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, marking the managed river system of the mid-century. Significant landmarks for desert navigation include the jagged peaks of Snaggletooth and Whale Mtn, alongside the high point of Chemehuevi Peak. Sparse human activity is recorded through scattered mines and prospects, while the Old National Trails Road traces a historic path through the Sacramento Mountains, illustrating the early 20th-century transportation network before modern interstate expansion.
