Beale's Crossing was a river crossing on the Colorado River, near the head of the Mohave Valley, between New Mexico Territory (now Arizona) and California along the 35th Parallel route of Beale's Wagon Road.
The first pioneer wagon trains that soon followed Beale's road to the crossing cut down trees along the river to make rafts.
A ferry subsequently operated there, serving traffic on the Mojave Road, the government supply route from Los Angeles that terminated at Fort Mohave.
From there Beale's Wagon Road passed east through Union Pass to Beale Spring, and the interior of northern New Mexico Territory to Fort Defiance, Zuni Pueblo and Albuquerque.
The ferry at Fort Mohave appears still in use on a September 1911 reprint of a U. S. Geological Survey, Reconnaissance Map, Arizona, Nevada, California, Camp Mohave Sheet, Edition of March 1892, reprinted.
