About this map

Peoples Canyon serves as the central drainage feature in this corner of the Mojave Desert, where the high desert terrain meets the eastern edge of the Black Mountains. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, with scattered water sources such as Sams Spring, Burro Spring, and Fork Spring providing critical points of reference in the complex topography. These springs and the ephemeral Peoples Cr illustrate the vital role of water management in the region, further evidenced by the presence of Catclaw Tank.

A tri-county boundary intersection between Yavapai, Mohave, and La Paz counties cuts through the desert floor, marking a jurisdictional meeting point in an otherwise isolated area. Connectivity is limited to the southern portion of the map, where Palmerita Rd provides the primary access route through the basin. This survey documents the transition from mountain foothills to desert wash, capturing the layout of sections and townships across this remote Arizona interior.
