1960 Map of Senator Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Detrital Valley and the surrounding desert peaks define this mid-century portrait of Mohave County, where the landscape transitions from broad washes to high mountain summits. Mining activity is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Senator Mine, Owens Mine, and Fry Mine clustered near the eastern ridges. These operations relied on a network of water sources in an otherwise arid environment, including the North Senator Tank and South Senator Tank, alongside the industrial infrastructure of the Cyclonic Pumping Sta. In the northern reaches, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area encompasses the Temple Bar Rapids, while the lower elevations are marked by the long stretch of the Temple Bar Road. The presence of the Spear Ranch and several springs like Eileen Spr highlight the sparse but vital human outposts that sustained ranching and prospecting in the region.
