2021 Map of Austin Peak

About this map

Austin Peak rises as the central landmark of this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, marking a high point within the Aquarius Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including Cedar Basin Canyon and Dripping Springs Canyon, which cut through the elevated plateau. A network of springs provides rare water sources across this arid region, from the aptly named Blue Mud Spring and Sheepcamp Spring to Schoolhouse Spring on the eastern slopes of the peak. Historically, these locations often served as critical points for cattle ranching and early travelers through the basin. Local access is traced by a series of primitive routes like Bull Springs Rd and Squaw Springs Rd, which navigate the complex topography between Snow Mtn and the numerous named canyons like Divide Canyon.
