White Hills (Arizona)

White Hills are a range of hills in northern Mohave County, Arizona. These hills lie north of the Cerbat Mountains and extend south from the Colorado River between the Detrital Valley to the west and the Gold Basin and the upper Hualapai Valley to the east.[1]

History

The west side of the White Hills were the site of a gold rush in 1892. It resulted in the establishment of the boomtown of White Hills, in Arizona Territory, twenty miles east of the steamboat landing at Eldorado Canyon.[2]:84
