About this map

The White Hills dominate this portion of the Arizona desert, where mining activity and rugged topography define the landscape within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Prospectors and miners left a significant footprint across these slopes, evidenced by numerous prospects, a mine shaft, and an Open Pit Mine located south of Salt Spring Wash. This 1989 revision highlights the persistent search for minerals in the vicinity of Golden Rule Peak, a notable high point in the southern portion of the sheet.

Water sources are scarce, indicated by the presence of Salt Spring and intermittent drainages like Temple Wash and Salt Wash. Infrastructure is limited to rugged routes such as the Bar Temple Trail and various 4 WD tracks. Small-scale features like a Corral and Well suggest limited livestock or seasonal activity in an otherwise austere environment defined by its complex network of washes and ridgelines.
