About this map

Mining and ranching infrastructure define this arid landscape within the White Hills of Mohave County during the late 1980s. The topography is dominated by the Table Mountain Plateau to the northeast, with the terrain marked by evidence of resource extraction including a Mine Shaft, an Adit, and several Prospects. Water, the most critical resource in this high desert environment, is carefully managed through a series of named points such as Red Willow Spring, Alto Spring, and Mountain Spring, alongside various catchment and pumping sites like Sacaton Dam and the Butcher Windmill.

A network of unimproved roads and the prominent Trans Line corridor provide the primary means of navigation across the hills. The presence of a Heliport and multiple Corral sites suggests a blend of modern utility and traditional land use. This provisional survey captures the transition between the rugged peaks and the flatter reaches where features like Rock Spring and the Nealy Windmill served as vital landmarks for local operations.
