1942 Map of Signal

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Big Sandy River and Santa Maria River define the drainage of this interior Arizona landscape, converging to form the Williams River in a territory where Mohave, Yavapai, and Yuma counties meet. Small settlements and mining prospects appear throughout the desert terrain, including the eponymous Signal, the copper mining center at Bagdad, and the remote outposts of Swansea and Planet. The transportation network is dominated by unpaved routes and washes, with Wikieup and Owen serving as primary points along the northern corridor. The topography is exceptionally detailed, featuring the Aquarius Cliffs, the Hualpai Mts, and the distinctive Artillery Peaks, reflecting the strategic focus of the War Department during this era. Land use is varied, showing an Indian Reservation in the north and scattered cattle-related infrastructure like Butler Well and Horse Tank in the arid basins.
