1959 Map of Standard Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Lake Havasu and the Colorado River dominate the southwestern corner of this desert landscape along the border of Arizona and California. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Aubrey Hills and the Bill Williams Mountains, split by the expansive drainage of Standard Wash. In the higher elevations of the northern section, mining activity is evident through the presence of the Manitowoc Mine, El Campo Mine, and various unnamed shafts. Small water sources such as Screwbean Spring and Gold Spring dot the arid stretches of Dutch Flat. The mapping reveals a sparse transportation network consisting primarily of a Jeep Trail, indicating the isolated nature of these mineral-rich mountains during the late 1950s. Lake Havasu State Park highlights early efforts to preserve the recreational and natural areas surrounding the reservoir.
