About this map

The eastern reaches of the Mojave Desert define this arid landscape in Yavapai County, where the terrain rises sharply into the Black Mountains. This 2021 survey documents a remote tri-county intersection, marking the boundaries where Mohave, La Paz, and Yavapai counties meet among high ridges and deep drainages. The area is characterized by significant natural water features including Sams Spring, Fork Spring, and Burro Spring, which provide critical reference points in an otherwise sparsely developed region.

Watercourses like Peeples Cr and the dramatic Peeples Canyon cut through the topography, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped these mountains over time. Human infrastructure is limited to primitive routes like Palmerita Rd, highlighting the persistence of this wilderness character well into the twenty-first century. The map serves as a vital record of the public land survey system, clearly delineating the township and range grids that overlie this complex desert environment.
