1968 Map of Valentine SE

About this map

Mining operations such as the Copper Giant Mine and Alabama Mine characterize this mid-century look at the high desert terrain of the Mountains in Mohave County. Mapping based on 1967 and 1968 fieldwork shows a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes along the Cottonwood Cliffs, where water sources like Little Cottonwood Spring and Red Horn Spring provided essential relief in the arid environment. A network of primitive infrastructure, including an Aqueduct, Pipeline, and numerous corrals, suggests a dual economy of resource extraction and livestock grazing. Navigating the depths of Wright Canyon and Red Horn Canyon, prospectors and ranchers utilized a series of Jeep Trails to reach remote claims like the Keystone Extension Mine and Victoria Mine long before modern development altered the region.
