LAND HISTORY AND NEWS — LAYER B

La Paz County's remote desert placer belt — particularly the Plomosa and Dome Rock Mountains — has produced steady placer gold output since the 1900s. The Colorado River and its low terraces contain both large-scale paleodepositional zones and small pocket deposits. Modern prospecting has identified new targets using geological mapping of Tertiary fanglomerate. The BLM Hassayampa Field Office administers claims; water access is limited — this is true desert prospecting.
