About this map

Alamo Lake dominates the southern portion of this desert landscape, marking the confluence where the Big Sandy River and Santa Maria River meet to form the Bill Williams River. This hydraulic junction sits at the crossroads of the Mohave and La Paz County border, anchoring a region defined by dramatic elevation changes. To the north, the Artillery Mountains rise sharply, culminating at the prominent Artillery Peak, while the southeastern corner is carved by the broad drainage of Bullard Wash.

The map reveals a network of primitive and secondary routes such as Wickenburg Rd and Browns Crossing Rd that navigate the varied terrain of the Mojave Desert. These tracks connect isolated landmarks like White Rock and Plancha Mtn, tracing the paths of seasonal desert hydrology through Chapin Wash and Burro Wash. The western edge of the quadrangle is framed by the foothills of the Rawhide Mountains, illustrating the complex geological transition between the high peaks and the river basin.
