Near the Arizona-Nevada border, more than 700 petroglyphs can be found at Grapevine Canyon. The petroglyphs are from 1100-1900 AD.

The Fort Mojave Indian Tribe occupies the land from Mojave City to Topock and straddles the Nevada, California, and Arizona borders.

Fort Mojave was established as a U.S. military outpost in 1859. There are ruins of Fort Mojave still existing near the Colorado River. The Fort Mojave tribe holds the river sacred to its traditions.

Nora McDowell is the manager of the Topock Remediation Project. This project will consist of cleaning chromium contamination in the groundwater near Topock Maze.

Topock Maze is an over 600-year-old geoglyph that is spiritually important to the Mojave.
