1967 Map of Tom Brown Canyon

About this map

Big Sandy River flows along the western edge of this Mohave County landscape, marking a transition between the river valley and the steep drainages of the Hualapai Mountains. The 1960s terrain is characterized by a dense network of water sources vital to this arid region, including named improvements like Lower Parson Well and the Buckley Tunnel Spring. These features, along with numerous others such as Indian Grade Spring and Warm Spring, suggest a history of ranching and livestock management in the canyons. The eastern boundary of the Hualapai Indian Res occupies the southwestern portion of the sheet, while the deep cut of Tom Brown Canyon dominates the southern topography. A lone Jeep Trail provides the primary transit route through the southern washes, connecting scattered points like the White Spring Well and Falls.
