About this map

Poachie Range and Arrastra Mountain dominate this corner of Mohave County, where the desert landscape is defined by its vital water sources and early mining endeavors. A network of Jeep Trails threads through the high ground, connecting remote landmarks like Black Canyon Spring, Colorado Spring, and Poachie Spring. These reliable seeps were critical for both wildlife and the prospectors who scoured these slopes for mineral wealth.

Industrial activity is anchored by the Antler Mine in the southern reaches, while a lonely Prospect further north hints at the wider search for ore within the rocky terrain. Drainage patterns across the map are dominated by Government Wash, which carves through the southern foothills. This 1967 survey by the Geological Survey and USC&GS documents the area just before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Arizona desert, preserving the locations of specific springs and historic mine claims.
