The North American Indian, vol. 2, Stone Maze, 1907, facing p. 54

Stone Maze. Captioned "Stone Maze" and "From Copyright Photograph 1907 by E.S. Curtis". In the center from left to right, horizontal, parallel rows of stones can be seen with open ground in between each row. In the background, plants and hills are visible. "In southeastern California along the Colorado River south of The Needles are many mesas, the loose surface stones on the summits of which, covering hundreds of acres, have been gathered by a prehistoric people into long parallel rows about six inches high and four feet apart, broken here and there with rectangular open spaces. The Mohave Indians near by have utilized the area so marked, in recent years, as a maze into which to lure and escape evil spirits, for it is believed that by running in and out through one of these immense labyrinths one haunted with a dread may bewilder the spirits occasioning it, and thus elude them" --Edward S. Curtis
