2021 Map of Arrow Canyon

About this map

The Arrow Canyon Range dominates the western portion of this 2021 study, where steep ridgelines descend into the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This arid landscape is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including the prominent Pahranagat Wash and Hidden Wash which carve through the high desert floor. The map provides a detailed look at the land's physical structure, emphasizing the deep incisions of Arrow Canyon and its associated Side Canyon. These geological features dictate the movement of water and history in this part of Clark County, as seen in the converging paths of Battleship Wash and Side Canyon Wash. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this terrain, where modern land management boundaries like t14s r64e segment the open desert.
