About this map

The Cerbat Mountains rise sharply in this late-sixties survey, a landscape defined by an intense density of mining operations concentrated along the western slopes. From the White Eagle Mine in the north to the St Louis Mine and Western Union Mine further south, the map documents a historical corridor of extraction and high-desert activity. The small settlement of Stockton serves as a central point between the peaks and the high plains, situated near the Stockton Mine and Jordan Mine.

A network of specialized routes, including a prominent Jeep Trail and the Stockton Hill Road, connects these remote sites to the Hualapai Valley below. Vital water sources such as Canyon Station Spring, Merit Spring, and Gaddis Spring appear as critical landmarks for survival and industry in this arid environment. The transition from the high ridges of Cerbat Peak and Mayswell Peak down to the valley floor illustrates the challenging topography that miners and early settlers navigated to access these mineral-rich lands.
