Book Review: Mohave County, Arizona, USA, One Thousand Miles of Shoreline

Mohave County, Arizona, USA, One Thousand Miles of Shoreline by Carlos Elmer, W A Krueger Company, Phoeniz, AZ, 1974.  This book is in the Arizona section of the Kingman library.

This is a photographic essay of Mohave County, focusing mostly on the lakes but also including the Hualapai Mountains, the Arizona Strip, Grand Canyon National Monument (west of the Grand Canyon, Big Sand River and Aquarius Mountains, and Joshua Trees.

The highlight of tourism in Mohave County are the lakes on the Colorado River, Lake Mead formed by Hoover Dam, Lake Mohave formed by Davis Dam, and Lake Havasu formed by Parker dam.  There are also desert lakes by Topock.  With lakes comes boating and fishing.  But lakes are also for swimming and just sitting beside and enjoying the view.  An unusual tourist attraction in Mohave County is London Bridge which connects an island to the rest of Lake Havasu City which is now the largest city in Mohave County.
