1950 Map of Whipple Mts

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Havasu Lake and the Colorado River dominate the eastern border of this 1950 survey, marking the jagged boundary between California and Arizona. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Whipple Mountains and the extensive Chemehuevi Indian Reservation, which occupies much of the northern and central terrain. Human presence at mid-century is characterized by remote outposts and a legacy of mineral exploration. Remote wells such as West Well and Chambers Well provide critical water points in the arid expanse of Chemehuevi Wash, while the banks of the lake show emerging recreational and transit hubs at Needles Boat Landing and Roads End Camp.
