Tag: Mohave County

Mohave County, located in the northwestern corner of Arizona, is a region of vast desert landscapes, rugged mountain ranges, and the striking Colorado River. Established in 1864, it encompasses over 13,000 square miles, making it one of the largest counties in the United States. The county’s seat is Kingman, a historic town known for its Route 66 landmarks and proximity to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. The region also includes popular recreational areas such as Lake Havasu City, home to the relocated London Bridge, and Bullhead City, a hub for water sports and gaming. With its blend of natural beauty, historic sites, and vibrant communities, Mohave County offers a unique glimpse into the diverse character of Arizona’s western frontier.

Colorado Steamships

Posted on by

The Colorado River, flowing from the Rocky Mountains through the arid Southwest to the Gulf of California, was a challenging waterway—shallow, swift, and prone to sandbars, floods, and shifting channels. Despite these obstacles, steam-powered vessels played a vital role in its navigation from the mid-19th century until the early 20th century. Primarily operating on the lower Colorado River (from the Gulf of California upstream to areas near modern-day Nevada), steamboats transported military supplies, miners, settlers, and freight, fueling the development of Arizona, California, Nevada, and parts of Mexico. They were the most economical means of moving goods across the desert until railroads supplanted them.

Early Attempts and the Birth of Steam Navigation (1850–1854)

The need for reliable transport arose after the Mexican-American War (1846–1848), when the U.S. Army established Fort Yuma at the confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers to protect emigrants heading to California during the Gold Rush. Supplying the isolated fort overland from San Diego cost up to $500 per ton. River transport from the Gulf of California offered a cheaper alternative.

Initial efforts used schooners and barges. In 1850–1851, the schooner Invincible and longboats reached only partway upriver. Lieutenant George Derby recommended shallow-draft sternwheel steamboats.

The first successful steamboat was the small iron-hulled Uncle Sam, a 65-foot tug with a 20-horsepower engine, assembled at the river’s mouth in 1852 by Captain James Turnbull. It reached Fort Yuma in December 1852 but later proved unreliable and sank.

In 1853–1854, George Alonzo Johnson, partnering with Benjamin M. Hartshorne and others, formed George A. Johnson & Company. They brought parts for the sidewheeler General Jesup from San Francisco, assembling it at the river mouth. The General Jesup carried 50 tons of cargo to Fort Yuma in five days, reducing costs to $75 per ton and proving commercial viability.

Expansion and Exploration (1855–1860s)

Johnson’s company built wood yards staffed by Cocopah Indians and added vessels like the sternwheeler Colorado (1855, captained by Isaac Polhamus) and others. By the late 1850s, steamboats regularly serviced Fort Yuma and emerging mining camps.

Exploration pushed limits:

  • In 1857, Johnson took the General Jesup to El Dorado Canyon (near Las Vegas).
  • The U.S. Army’s 1857–1858 expedition, led by Lt. Joseph Christmas Ives, used the 54-foot iron steamboat Explorer (built in Philadelphia and reassembled on the river). It reached Black Canyon but struck a rock; Ives deemed further navigation impractical at low water. Johnson later bought the Explorer and converted it to a barge.

Mormon leader Brigham Young sought a sea-to-Utah route via the Colorado. In 1864–1866, Anson Call established Callville (near modern Lake Mead) as a potential port. Steamboats like the Esmeralda reached it in 1866.

Boom Years: Mining Rushes and Competition (1860s–1870s)

The 1862 Colorado River gold rush near La Paz (Arizona) and later discoveries in Eldorado Canyon and elsewhere created explosive demand. Ports like Ehrenberg, Hardyville, and Aubrey emerged. Steamboats hauled machinery, food, and ore, often towing barges for extra capacity.

George A. Johnson & Company dominated initially but faced rivals like Thomas Trueworthy’s Union Line in the 1860s. Competition ended when Johnson’s company absorbed opponents. In 1869, it reorganized as the Colorado Steam Navigation Company (C.S.N.Co.), expanding the fleet with vessels like Cocopah, Mohave, and larger ones like the 149-foot Mohave II (1876) and Gila.

Key captains included Isaac Polhamus (“Dean of the Colorado River”) and later Jack Mellon. Ocean steamships connected San Francisco to the river mouth at Port Isabel, feeding river traffic.

Peak and Decline (1870s–1900s)

The 1870s marked the peak, with scheduled services and luxurious boats offering passenger excursions. The C.S.N.Co. monopolized trade, profiting immensely from military contracts, mining,, and Mormon supplies.

Railroads spelled doom. The Southern Pacific reached Yuma in 1877, bridging the river. That year, Johnson and partners sold the C.S.N.Co. to Southern Pacific interests for a massive profit. Steamboats continued but focused on upper reaches and local freight.

Later vessels included the Cochan (1900, the last major sternwheeler) and Searchlight (1903–1909), hauling ore from Nevada mines.

End of an Era (1909–1916)

The 1909 completion of Laguna Dam (for irrigation) blocked navigation. Final operations involved limited freight and dam-related work. The last commercial steamboat, Searchlight, retired around 1916.

Attempts on the upper Colorado (e.g., Glen Canyon, Green River) were short-lived due to rapids and low water.

Legacy

For over 50 years, Colorado River steamboats connected isolated frontiers, enabling settlement and extraction in a harsh desert. They carried millions in gold, supplied forts and mines, and linked the Pacific to inland territories. Though overshadowed by railroads and dams, their era transformed the Southwest, leaving behind ghost towns, historic sites like Yuma Quartermaster Depot, and a romantic chapter in Western transportation history.

Cerbat Arizona – Mohave County Ghost Town

Posted on by

Cerbat is a historic mining camp and former town located in the Cerbat Mountains of Mohave County, northwestern Arizona, approximately 9-15 miles northwest of present-day Kingman. Nestled in a rugged canyon west of the main Cerbat Mountain range, the site sits at an elevation of around 4,580 feet. The name “Cerbat” derives from a Native American term meaning “Big Horn mountain sheep,” reflecting the wildlife once abundant in the area.

The town’s origins trace back to the late 1860s, when prospectors discovered rich deposits of gold and silver in the Cerbat Mountains. Following initial finds, mining camps quickly emerged, with Cerbat established around key claims including the Esmeralda, Golden Gem, Vanderbilt, Idaho, Flores, Night Hawk, and Big Bethel mines. By 1870-1871, a small settlement had formed, supported by a mill, smelter, stores, saloons, a school, a post office (opened December 23, 1872), and professional services such as a doctor’s office and a lawyer’s office. Cabins housed over 100 residents at its peak, making it a modest but prosperous frontier community isolated in the harsh desert terrain.

Boom Period and Significance (1870s-1880s)

Cerbat’s early growth was fueled by the broader mining boom in Mohave County, which began with gold discoveries along the Colorado River in the 1860s. Prospectors often arrived via steamboat to Hardyville (now part of Bullhead City), then trekked inland 38 miles to the Cerbat area. The town’s remote location necessitated infrastructure improvements: in 1872, a $6,000 dirt road was constructed over the mountains to connect Cerbat to eastern settlements like Fort Rock, Camp Hualapai, Williamson Valley, and Prescott.

In 1871, Cerbat briefly achieved prominence as the third county seat of Mohave County, building the county’s first permanent court house. However, it lost this status in 1873 (some sources cite 1877) to the nearby rival mining town of Mineral Park. Despite this, Cerbat remained active, with stage lines like the California and Arizona Stage Company providing weekly service in the 1880s, linking it to Mineral Park, Chloride, Prescott, and Hardyville via toll roads.

The surrounding Wallapai Mining District (encompassing Cerbat, Chloride, Mineral Park, and Stockton Hill) produced significant gold, silver, lead, zinc, and later turquoise. Cerbat’s mines contributed substantially, with the Golden Gem alone yielding around $400,000 in precious metals between 1871 and 1907.

Life in Cerbat reflected the turbulent Old West: conflicts with local Hualapai and other Native American groups led to miner deaths, while internal violence included murders, suicides, and at least one legal hanging (carpenter Michael DeHay in 1876 for killing his wife). The town’s pioneer cemetery preserves graves reflecting these hardships, including victims of mining accidents, disease (e.g., tuberculosis), and insanity-related incidents.

Decline and Abandonment (Late 19th to Early 20th Century)

Cerbat’s prosperity waned as richer deposits were exhausted or eclipsed by nearby camps. The post office, a key indicator of viability, operated until June 15, 1912 (with a brief name change to “Campbell” from 1890-1902). By the early 20th century, residents drifted away, and the town faded into obscurity. Sporadic mining continued in the district into the 20th century, but Cerbat itself never recovered.

Current Status

Cerbat is classified as a classic Arizona ghost town—uninhabited and abandoned, with no permanent residents. The site consists primarily of scattered ruins: faint stone foundations, crumbling walls, old mine shafts, tailings piles, and remnants of buildings overgrown by desert vegetation. A semi-modern warehouse and large steel safe from later eras remain, along with an active ranch at the canyon’s base. The pioneer cemetery is one of the better-preserved features, accessible for historical visits.

Access is via dirt roads off U.S. Highway 93 north of Kingman (near Milepost 62), requiring high-clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicles for the final stretches, especially after rain. The area falls within public lands managed in part by the Bureau of Land Management, and nearby modern mining operations (e.g., at Mineral Park) have altered parts of the landscape with large open pits.

Cerbat attracts ghost town enthusiasts, hikers, and off-road explorers seeking remnants of Arizona’s mining heritage. It is not commercialized like some sites (e.g., no tours or facilities), emphasizing its raw, desolate character. The broader Cerbat Mountains remain notable for wild Cerbat mustangs (a protected feral herd of possible Spanish descent) and ongoing mineral exploration, but the town itself stands as a silent testament to the boom-and-bust cycles of the American West.

Chloride Arizona

Posted on by

Chloride Arizona is the oldest continuously inhabited Silver Mining town located in Mohave County, Arizona. The name derives its named from Silver Chloride (AgCl) which is found in abundance in the local Cerbet mountains.

Chloride’s modern history began in the late 19th century when prospectors, drawn by rumors of silver and other valuable minerals, began to explore the nearby hills and canyons. In 1863, a prospector named John Moss struck silver in the area, leading to a flurry of activity as more miners and settlers arrived. The first official post office was established in 1866, and Chloride was officially born.

Chloride experienced rapid growth during the late 1800s as mines produced substantial amounts of silver, lead, zinc, and other valuable minerals. The town’s population swelled. Businesses, saloons, and other establishments sprung up to cater to the needs of the growing community. At its peak, Chloride boasted a theater, several hotels, and a bustling main street.

However, like many mining towns of the era, Chloride’s prosperity was short-lived. Fluctuating metal prices, mine closures, and the depletion of easily accessible minerals led to a decline in the town’s fortunes. By the early 20th century, Chloride entered a period of decline. Much of its population began to dwindle as residents sought opportunities elsewhere.

Despite the challenges, some residents remained in Chloride, and the town managed to maintain a semblance of its former self. The 20th century saw the rise of tourism as visitors were drawn to Chloride’s picturesque desert landscapes, historical buildings, and remnants of its mining heritage. Efforts to preserve the town’s history led to the restoration of several historic structures, including the Monte Cristo Saloon. The saloon proudly claims to be Arizona’s oldest continuously operating bar.

Modern Relevance

In recent decades, Chloride has experienced a revival fueled by a mix of nostalgia, artistic expression, and a desire to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The town has attracted a diverse group of residents, including artists, retirees, and those seeking a slower pace of life.

One of Chloride’s most unique and captivating features is the open-air Chloride Murals project. In the early 1960s by local artist Roy Purcell, this project has transformed the town into a vibrant canvas. Murals depicting scenes from Chloride’s history, Native American culture, and the American West decorate the sides of buildings and rock formations.

Alamo Crossing Mohave County Ghost Town

Posted on by

Alamo Crossing is a submerged ghost town hidden beneath the waters of Alamo Lake, Mohave County, Arizona.

Alamo Crossing, Mohave County Arizona
Alamo Crossing, Mohave County Arizona

The town is founded by Tom Rogers about 1899. The little hamlet served as a small mining community to transient prospectors with most of the population camping out. During its heyday, the town only consisted of a five-stamp mill, a few stores and a post office. The town’s population is never known to be significant.

In 1968, an earth filled damn is constructed along the Bill Williams River by the Army Corp of Engineers for flood control. The 283 foot tall damn caused the formation of Lake Alamo, which is about 80 feet deep. The remains of Alamo Crossing still lie in the waters of the lake. Scuba gear is required to explore the remains. The town site was believed to be one of the best preserved ghost towns in the county, prior to flooding.

In 2020, the area surrounding Alamo is revived for mining again, this time for placer gold prospecting.

Fort Mohave

Posted on by

Fort Mohave is a historic settlement located in the southwestern region of Mohave county, Arizona, United States. Nestled along the banks of the Colorado River near Beale’s Crossing, it has played a significant role in the development and growth of the American West. Over the centuries, this area has witnessed the presence of various indigenous tribes, Spanish explorers, American pioneers, and military forces, each leaving their mark on the region’s rich history.

The history of Fort Mohave dates back thousands of years, with evidence of human habitation found in archaeological sites within the surrounding area. The Mojave people, from whom the fort derived its name, were one of the prominent Native American tribes in the region. They lived along the Colorado River, engaging in agriculture, hunting, and trade with other indigenous groups.

The first recorded European contact in the area occurred in the 16th century when Spanish explorers, including Melchor Díaz and Francisco Garcés, ventured into present-day Arizona. They encountered the Mojave people and established a limited presence in the region through the establishment of missions and trade routes. However, it wasn’t until the early 19th century that significant European-American exploration and settlement occurred.

In 1826, trapper and explorer Jedediah Smith traversed the Colorado River, reaching the vicinity of Fort Mohave. His expedition paved the way for subsequent fur trappers and traders who ventured into the area in search of beaver pelts and new trade opportunities. This influx of fur trappers and mountain men led to increased interaction between Native American tribes and Euro-Americans, often resulting in conflicts and tensions.

The establishment of Fort Mohave came about as a direct response to these conflicts. In 1858, the U.S. Army constructed the fort on the east bank of the Colorado River, near the confluence of the Mohave and Hardy rivers. Initially known as Camp Colorado, its primary purpose was to protect American settlers and travelers on their journey to the California gold fields during the height of the Gold Rush.

Fort Mohave was strategically positioned along the major transportation route that linked the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, known as the Mojave Road. It served as a critical outpost for the U.S. Army during the American Civil War, as troops were deployed to protect the mail and telegraph lines and maintain control over the region.

The fort played a significant role in the military campaigns against Native American tribes, particularly the Mojave, Chemehuevi, and Navajo people, who were resisting the encroachment of settlers on their traditional lands. Numerous skirmishes and battles occurred in the area as tensions escalated between Native Americans and the expanding American population.

Following the conclusion of the Civil War, the fort gradually lost its military significance. In 1890, it was officially decommissioned, and the remaining structures were abandoned. However, the establishment of the Mohave Valley Irrigation Project in the early 20th century sparked a renewed interest in the region.

The irrigation project brought water to the arid lands surrounding Fort Mohave, facilitating the cultivation of crops and the establishment of farming communities. This development, coupled with the construction of the Davis Dam in the 1950s, which created Lake Mohave, transformed the economy and landscape of the area. The lake provided recreational opportunities, attracting tourists and supporting the growth of the local tourism industry.

The region continues to be influenced by its proximity to the Colorado River, offering a range of water-based activities such as boating, fishing, and water sports. The Fort Mojave Indian Reservation, located nearby, serves as a reminder of the area’s rich Native American heritage and provides a cultural center for the Mojave, Chemehuevi, and Navajo tribes.
