About this map

The Cerbat Mountains rise sharply in this late-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by an intensive mining history. This area north of Kingman is dotted with dozens of distinct claims, from the Stockton Mine and Jordan Mine to the White Eagle Mine and De La Fontaine Mine. These sites follow the high ridges near Cerbat Peak and Silver Mtn, where steep topography necessitated an intricate network of Jeep Trails for access.

Transitioning eastward, the high peaks give way to the more level terrain of the Hualapai Valley. Here, the desert floor is marked by water management features like Valley Tank and Blue Rock Tank, alongside the emerging residential grid near Thompson Ave and Northern Avenue. The map captures the meeting point between the rugged extractive industry of the mountains and the expanding settlement patterns on the valley floor.
