National Register pyramid tomb of Hadji Ali (“Hi Jolly”), Syrian-born camel driver for the 1850s U.S. Army Camel Corps experiment, in Quartzsite’s pioneer cemetery. 1930s Arizona Highway Department monument of local stone topped with a copper camel silhouette—Quartzsite’s most-visited historic landmark and a tangible pin for the Southwest camel-corps and desert-freight story.
