1970 Map of Warm Springs

About this map

The Black Mountains dominate this Mohave County landscape, where the terrain transitions from the high elevations of Black Mesa down toward the Sacramento Valley. This 1970 survey captures a region defined by its water sources and mining history, with Warm Springs and its associated Warm Springs Canyon providing a central drainage path through the mountain range. Smaller water points like Antelope Spring and Alkali Spring are crucial markers in this arid environment, often serving as the primary landmarks for navigation along the network of Jeep Trails. Evidence of 20th-century mineral exploration is visible at the Tipperary Mine and various Prospects situated along the valley's edge. The map traces the natural flow of the land from the volcanic heights of the mesa to the broad alluvial floor of the valley via Warm Springs Wash.
