1954 Map of Short Creek SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Yellowstone Mesa and Cedar Ridge dominate this mid-century high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where life followed the sparse availability of water. The map records a network of vital watering points essential for ranching, including Brinkerhoff Well, Daves Well, and Fern Tank. Human activity is centered around the Esplins Corral and scattered ranching infrastructure like the Windmill near Cedar Ridge. This preliminary edition, based on 1953 aerial photography, captures the era's land use through a system of unimproved roads and trails connecting isolated landmarks such as Gudger Well and Jenson Well. The terrain transitions from the heights of the mesa down into Upper Clay Hole Valley, defined by the erosive path of the Big Sand Wash.
