1967 Map of Yellow John Mtn.

About this map

Yellow John Mountain rises above a landscape defined by deep drainages and high tablelands within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This mid-century survey captures the remote character of the Shivwits Plateau, where water security was the primary concern for any human activity. The map identifies several vital water sources, including Mud Spring, Dripping Spring, and Lost Spring, alongside man-made improvements like Horseshoe Tank and Pleasant Valley Tank in Pleasant Valley. A single Prospect located near Andrus Canyon suggests early mineral exploration in this isolated portion of Mohave County, though the terrain remains largely undeveloped and preserved for its natural character.
