2014 Map of Arrow Canyon

About this map

Arrow Canyon Range dominates the western portion of this 2014 survey, marking a stark vertical presence above the surrounding basin. This area of the Mojave Desert is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, most notably the winding course of Pahranagat Wash and the deeply incised Arrow Canyon. The landscape reveals a pattern of desert hydrology where runoff is channeled through seasonal arteries such as Side Canyon Wash and Battleship Wash. Evidence of modern infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to Route 168 clipping the northeastern corner, leaving the vast majority of the quadrangle as an undisturbed study of Great Basin landforms and public land survey divisions.
