2011 Map of Tweed Mine

About this map

Tweed Mine sits isolated in the desert terrain of La Paz County, a singular industrial landmark in an otherwise arid expanse. The landscape is defined by extensive natural drainage systems, primarily the sprawling Mohave Wash and Gould Wash, which cut through the dry soil. These ephemeral watercourses suggest a territory shaped by seasonal flash floods and rugged geomorphology. Human intervention is sparse, represented almost exclusively by the unpaved corridor of Cibola Rd in the northeast and the historical footprint of mining activity. This survey captures the region during a period of modern topographical documentation, preserving the exact relationship between the desert's limited road network and the geological features that drew early miners to this corner of Arizona.
