2014 Map of Amos Point

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area converge in this high-desert landscape of Mohave County. The terrain is defined by the massive Sanup Plateau, a prominent flatland bounded by a network of deep, intricate drainage systems including Surprise Canyon and West Fork Separation Canyon. These geological features reflect the dramatic erosion patterns typical of the Arizona Strip, where rare water sources like Cottonwood Spring and Amos Spring provided critical lifelines for early travelers and cattlemen. Landmarks such as Amos Point and Twin Point offer significant vantage points over the sprawling canyon networks. This 2014 representation details the intersection of federal protected lands and the rugged natural boundaries that have dictated movement through this corner of the state for generations.
