About this map

The Cerbat Mountains dominate this western Arizona landscape, where the rugged slopes are pocketed with a high density of named mining claims. At the base of Stockton Hill, the settlement of Stockton serves as a focal point for operations like the Stockton Mine and the Jordan Mine. This era of mineral extraction is well-documented through a network of steep trails and roads connecting high-elevation sites such as the White Eagle Mine and De La Fontaine Mine to the lower basins.

In the eastern portion of the map, the terrain flattens significantly into the Hualapai Valley, where the character of the land shifts from hard-rock mining to infrastructure. Modern developments, including a prominent Pipeline and an Aqueduct, cross the valley floor near established thoroughfares like Stockton Hill Road. Water remains a critical resource for these remote sites, evidenced by numerous improved sources such as Merit Spring, Gaddis Spring, and Blue Rock Tank.
