About this map

Wabayuma Peak anchors this high-desert terrain within the Hualapai Mountains during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its mining heritage and water-dependent ranching, as evidenced by the remote Boriana Mines tucked into the steep walls of Boriana Canyon and the Antler Mine further south. These operations relied on a network of isolated water sources like Boriana Well, Cottonwood Spring, and Bee Springs to sustain life and industry in the arid Mohave highlands.

Movement through the region follows the natural contours of the land, with a Pack Tr and several Jeep Trails providing the only access to interior locations such as Old Camp Well. In the lower elevations to the southwest, the Cavalliere Ranch sits near the drainage of Mackenzie Wash, representing the traditional cattle ranching that shared these mountains with the copper and tungsten miners of the era.
