About this map

Poachie Range and the northern edge of the Mojave Desert dominate this Mohave County landscape, where elevation changes are defined by steep ridges and expansive drainage systems. The rugged interior is carved by numerous ephemeral watercourses, including Snake Spring Wash, Jones Wash, and Government Wash. These washes represent the primary hydrological network of the region, carrying runoff toward lower elevations during seasonal rains.

Strategic water sources are mapped throughout the higher terrain, providing vital points of interest for historical and geological study. These include Colorado Spring, Black Canyon Spring, and Poachie Spring, often located near the base of slopes or within rocky canyons. In the southeast, Arrastra Mtn rises above the desert floor, while 17 Mile Rd serves as the principal corridor through this arid environment, connecting distant points across the basin and range province.
