1989 Map of Senator Mountain SW

About this map

Detrital Valley dominates this arid landscape in Mohave County, where the desert floor meets the rising terrain of the White Hills to the east. This 1989 provisional survey captures a remote region shaped by geological exploration and basic infrastructure, where Detrital Wash meanders through the western flats. Mining activity is evident throughout the eastern slopes, with several prospects, a prospect site, and mine shafts tucked into the hillsides. These features, along with a solitary Corral and scattered gravel pits, suggest a landscape defined by small-scale extraction and open-range livestock management. A network of 4wd tracks and a prominent trans line provide the only significant markers of modern presence across this vast stretch of Arizona desert, serving as a reliable record of the area's physical state just before the turn of the century.
